The over-a-century-old Ujjayanta Palace of Tripura’s Manikya Kings, which houses the state museum, would be equipped with digital galleries in a bid to boost tourism, a state minister said on Monday.
The palace,built by Maharaja Radha Kishore Manikya during 1899-1901, served as the statelegislative assembly till 2011.
“We would soon install digital galleries in the state museum, which would make useof projectors. I think this initiative would also attract more tourists in the museum and help promoting tourism industry in the state,” Tripura Higher Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath told reporters.
An official of the Tourism Department added that the visitors would feel like walking around the gallery with life-like illusions.
“We are planning to introduce a battery car from the main gate up to the museum for the elderly and kids, covering about half km.

“We also are sensitising tourists’ guides, tightening security at the museum, and restarting the light and sound show soon to attract more tourists,” Nath said.
