This is Mahamuni Pagoda at Manu Bankul, 134 kms from Agartala. ``Traditional Mahamuni and Owha festivals, originally a Buddhist festival, but nowadays one of the most cheery festivals of the state come off every year with spontaneous participation from people. During the festival Lord Buddha is worshipped in the monastery by Buddhist and Hindu Communities."

School ground. Far end left is pagoda, centre is school buses and school. Happy to see so many boys and girls in the school. People who live in big cities wonder what facilities would exist in smaller places like this but honestly it is not so bad. Townies want too much of comfort.
