The state is densly populated, the majority of inhabitants are Bengali, but there also is a large number of tribal communities. The capital city Agartala is home to a colourful mix of cultures.

There are different popular festivals, for all, tribal and non-tribal people as well as visitors. Take a holy dip in the source of the river Gomti at Paus-Sankrankti Mela.
