The floating wonder of Agartala- the water palace is an incredible remark of historical brilliance and  the largest and one-of-its-kind water palace in India, and the one and only one in Eastern India. What makes this palace stand out is how sandstone and marble had been used in building it, and how pavilions, balconies, towers, and bridges make it an architectural wonder. Further, the dome-shaped minars that can be seen from a far off gives it a fort-like appearance.
