Who built the capital of Tripura at Agartala ?

  • A.Maharaja Krishnakishore Manikya
  • B.Maharaja Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya
  • C.Maharaja Radhakishore Manikya
  • D.Maharaja Bir Chandra Kishore Manikya

Answer: A

The builder was Maharaja Krishnakishore Manikya.

In 1849 Maharaja Krishna Kishore Manikya moved the royal capital from Old Agartala (Old Haveli) to the present site on the banks of the Haora river, and modern Agartala was laid out at his initiative. Frequent Kuki raids and easier contact with British Bengal were the reasons given for the move.

The other three were later rulers: Bir Chandra Manikya reigned from 1862, Radha Kishore Manikya built the Ujjayanta Palace in the new capital around 1901, and Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya was the last ruling king, who died in 1947. They developed the city but did not found it.
