Tripuray Baishnab Dharmer Bistar: Prasanga Rajmala

Vaishnavism has played a significant role in shaping the religious, social and cultural life of the hilly state Tripura. The influence of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's Bhakti movement was not confined to Bengal alone; it gradually spread to different parts of the country and left a profound impact on the cultural, spiritual, and social life of the people. Vaishnavism transformed the royal court into a centre of devotional music, literature, and festivals.The Manikya kings encouraged the composition of Vaishnava songs, dramas, and devotional poetry.Through the patronage of the Manikya rulers, Vaishnava ideals became an integral part of Tripura's cultural identity while coexisting with its older Shakta traditions.
