Ujjayanta Prasad, the former royal palace of Tripura’s Manikya kings and which served as the Legislative Assembly until 2011, will soon be opened to the people as a museum, officials said on Tuesday.

“Work for renovation of palace is almost complete, new galleries have been created to accommodate antiques and statues as the palace will be the new address of the state museum which will be open to the common people within this month,” the curator of Agartala museum, P Bhattacharya, said.
