Tripura is a state in North-East India. It shares border with Bangladesh, Mizoram and Assam. Tripura is surrounded by Bangladesh on its north, south and west. The length of its international border is 856km (84 percent of its total border). The state is connected with the rest of India by NH-44 that runs through Assam, Meghalaya, North Bengal, Kolkata and other parts of India.
Tripura has long royal history. It had a pioneering role in the field of Art and Culture, Science and intellect. Tripura stepped into the modern age mainly during the reign of Maharaja Bichandra Manikya Bahadur. This was also the period when the great poet Rabindranath Tagore came in contact with Tripura.
Tripura, nestled in a tip of the Northeast, flourishes on the bounties of nature but the beauty of the state is heightened by its human resources on the one hand and rich cultural tradition on the other. Folk culture of the tribal and non-tribal people of the State forms the backbone of Tripura’s cultural tradition. Hoza Giri, Garia and Dhamali are the major dance forms of the State.
