History[edit]
The former Raj Bhavan is what was earlier the Pushpabanta Palace. It was built by Maharaja Birendra Kishore Manikya Debbarman Bahadur (1909-1923). He selected a spot on a green hillock known as Kunjaban, which stands at a distance of 1 km north of Ujjayanta palace, for its scenic beauty for building a suburban palace for a retreat. The palace was constructed in 1917. It was named as Pushpabanta Palace and it covers a total area of 1.76 hectares.
In this palace, Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore resided during his stint in Agartala.
This palace was also a mute witness to the poetic creations of many great poets including a number of popular songs. There are well-laid gardens and lawns within the palace compound. It was the official residence of the Governor of Tripura. The southern side of the garden has been made open for the public and has been named as Rabindra Kanan.
The current Governor is Kaptan Singh Solanki
