Neermahal

Neermahal sits in the middle of Rudrasagar Lake near Melaghar, roughly 53 km from Agartala, built in the early 20th century as the summer palace of Tripura's Manikya dynasty rulers. The palace's architecture blends Hindu and Islamic design elements, its white structure reflected in the lake's still water, reachable only by boat — a genuinely striking sight that's become one of Tripura's most recognizable images despite the state's generally low overall tourism profile. Neermahal suits travelers wanting a distinctive royal architectural stop paired with scenic lake boating — the approach by boat, watching the white palace grow larger against the water, is itself a memorable part of the visit, and an annual water festival held at the palace adds a cultural dimension for those able to time their trip around it.
