{{Kingdom of Tripura}}
The State of [[Tripura]] has a long history. The [[Twipra Kingdom]] at its peak included the whole eastern region of [[Bongal]] from the [[Brahmaputra River]] in the north and west, the [[Bay of Bengal]] in the south and [[Burma]] to the east during the 14th and 15th centuries AD.

The last ruler of the [[princely state]] of Tripura was Kirit Bikram Kishore Manikya Bahadur Debbarma who reigned from 1947 to 1949 [[Agartala]] after whom the kingdom was merged with [[India]] on 9 September 1949, and the administration was taken over on 15 October 1949.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://northtripura.nic.in/history.htm|title=History|publisher=North Tripura district website|access-date=2009-11-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100215132540/http://northtripura.nic.in/history.htm|archive-date=15 February 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Tripura became a [[Union Territory]] on 1 July 1963, and attained the status of a full-fledged state on 21 January 1972.

==Prehistorical period==

The origins of the kingdom are shrouded in the stories written in ''[[Rajmala]]'', the [[chronicle]] of the [[Kings of Tripura]], which meanders from Hindu traditional histories and Tripuri folklores.

==Ancient period==
The ancient period can be said to be from around the 7th century when the Tripuri kings ruled from [[Kailashahar]] in [[North Tripura]] and they used "'''fa'''" as their title; "'''pha'''" in [[Kokborok language|Tripuri]] means "'''father'''" or "'''head'''".

==Medieval period==
The Kings of Tripura adopted the "''manikya''" title and shifted their capital to Udaipur (formerly Rangamati) on the banks of the River Gomti in [[Gomti District, Tripura]] in the 14th century. In this period their power and fame was even acknowledged by the [[Mughals]], who were their contemporaries in [[North India]].

==Modern period==

The modern period starts after the domination of the kingdom by the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]] and the further tribute to British India after the British defeated the Mughals.

=== British Colonial period (1851-1949 CE) ===

In 1871, the British Indian government appointed an agent to assist the Maharaja in the administration.{{Sfn|Bhattacharya|1930|p=36}} During this period the capital of the kingdom was shifted to [[Agartala]], in [[West Tripura]], the present state capital in the early part of 19th century. The rulers of Tripura built palaces including the [[Ujjayanta Palace]] and [[Neermahal|Neermahal Palace]].

=== Post-Independence (1947 CE - present) ===
After India's independence, the [[Tripura (princely state)|princely state of Tripura]] was merged with the Union of India on 15 October 1949. Tripura became a [[Union Territory]] on 1 July 1963, and attained the status of a full-fledged state on 21 January 1972.
