'''Mukut Manikya''' was briefly the ruler of [[Twipra Kingdom|Tripura]] during the late 15th century.<br />
<br />
Mukut gained the throne following the brief reigns of [[Pratap Manikya]] and [[Vijaya Manikya I]], who were likely his elder brother and paternal nephew respectively.<ref>{{cite book|last=Roychoudhury|first=Nalini Ranjan|title=Tripura through the ages: a short history of Tripura from the earliest times to 1947 A.D.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Mq0dAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Mukut+Manikya+the+younger+brother+of+Pratap+Manikya+I+ascended+the+throne+in+the+year+1489%22&dq=%22Mukut+Manikya+the+younger+brother+of+Pratap+Manikya+I+ascended+the+throne+in+the+year+1489%22|year=1983|publisher=Sterling|page=16}}</ref> It is possible that his ascension was ensured through backing of military leaders, whose influence had waxed during the reigns of his immediate predecessors.<ref name=SarmaP50>{{cite book|last=Sarma|first=Ramani Mohan|title=Political History of Tripura|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bmpuAAAAMAAJ&q=%22It+is+not+unlikely+that+he+got+the+throne+through+the+favour+of.+the+military+chiefs+who+still+dominated+the+political+scene.%22&dq=%22It+is+not+unlikely+that+he+got+the+throne+through+the+favour+of.+the+military+chiefs+who+still+dominated+the+political+scene.%22|page=50|year=1987|publisher=Puthipatra}}</ref> Numismatic evidence indicates that this occurred in 1489.<ref>{{cite book|last=Sur|first=Hirendra Kumar|title=British Relations with the State of Tripura, 1760-1947|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XSouAAAAMAAJ&q=%22+It+has+already+been+shown+on+the+basis+of+numismatic+evidence+that+the+very+next+year+i.e+,+1489,+Mukut+Manikya+was+in+power.+%22&dq=%22+It+has+already+been+shown+on+the+basis+of+numismatic+evidence+that+the+very+next+year+i.e+,+1489,+Mukut+Manikya+was+in+power.+%22|year=1986|publisher=Saraswati Book Depot|page=221}}</ref><br />
<br />
However, Mukut's own rule was very short, with the coinage produced the very next year (i.e. 1490) instead displaying the name of his brother [[Dhanya Manikya]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Gan-Chaudhuri|first=Jagadis|title=Tripura, the land and its people|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SFFuAAAAMAAJ&q=%22His+reign+lasted+for+a+very+short+time+and+appears+to+have+come+to+an+end+before+1490+because+Dhanya+Manikya+already+issued+a+coin+in+that+year.%22&dq=%22His+reign+lasted+for+a+very+short+time+and+appears+to+have+come+to+an+end+before+1490+because+Dhanya+Manikya+already+issued+a+coin+in+that+year.%22|year=1980|publisher=Leeladevi Publications|page=21}}</ref> It may be that he had lost the favour of the chiefs, who subsequently had him overthrown.<ref name=SarmaP50/><br />
