Introduction :
|
|
Tripura is a tiny state in the North-East of the country. It has extensive
international border with Bangladesh and, in fact, 85% of its perimeter
is international border with rest being common boundary with Assam and
Mizoram to the East. This ancient land of mysterious past represents a
composite culture with several ethnic groups residing in the state.
Though the cultural heritage of one community differs from the other,
the manifested efforts have mingled them into a single whole, giving
birth to a unique cultural genre. Tripura can be termed as a
'laboratory' of exotic cultural synthesis. Tripura, quite off the beaten
track, is a storehouse of tribal crafts and culture as well as music and
dancing. Tripura has a large number of attractive tourist sites
including religious sites of Hindu’s and Buddhists.Considering the
proximity of Tripura with Bangladesh, it is more convenient for foreign
nationals to enter Tripura via Bangladesh with an appropriate visa. |
