Raj Bhavan, Governmental residence in Agartala, India
Raj Bhavan is a government building situated on a green hillock at Kunjaban and serves as the official residence of the Governor of Tripura. The complex includes administrative offices, reception halls, private living quarters, and separate blocks for different functions.
The building replaced in 2018 the earlier Pushpabanta Palace, constructed in 1917 by Maharaja Birendra Kishore Manikya and long used as the Governor's residence. The new construction marks a transition in official facilities after more than a century.
It functions as a venue for state ceremonies and diplomatic gatherings where official receptions shape the region's political and social calendar. The formal spaces here witness important meetings and cultural exchanges that influence public life in Tripura.
The location sits north of Ujjayanta Palace and is positioned on a hillside, which affects how you approach it. It is generally not open to the public since it functions as an official government residence.
The building deliberately blends modern architectural elements with traditional design features that reflect the heritage of Tripura. This mix of present and past makes it an example of contemporary government architecture in the region.
