The romantic and marvelous water place of Neermahal, situated in the Middle of Rudrasagar Lake, 55km south of Agartala was built in 1930 as a summer residence for Maharaja Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya. Inspired by Moghul architecture, the place is rather derelict inside, but the exterior and gardens have been restored and the sight of the domes and pavilions reflected in the lake, especially under the early evening floodlights, is impressive. Rented boats are available to cross the lake to the palace. The journey to the palace by boat will surely cast a spell on one`s mind as the lake is surrounded with lily pads, dragonflies, ducks and cormorants. The lake is 1km away from
A good combination of Hindu and Mughal architecture is noticed on the domes of the palace. There are mainly two parts of the palace - one on the western side known as Andar Mahal which was used by the royal family and another on the eastern side which was used for the security personnel and servants. There are 15 rooms in the main Andar Mahal. There is a beautiful garden laid in the western side of the palace. In the garden there is an open stage where drama, theatre, etc. use to be organized.
