Dev Place
Dev Place, also referred to as Deb Place, is an intriguing historical landmark located in the fertile Manu Valley. This site is believed to be the remnants of an old administrative or residential block belonging to the local nobles or minor royalty of the Deb family, who were closely allied with th e Manikya kings. The place is shrouded in local lore, with many believing it holds the secrets of the ancient Chambulnagar kingdom. Situated near the Bhairav Thali area, the ruins consist of stone foundations, weathered brick walls, and ancient water tanks. The valley itself is a picturesque setting, with the Manu River flowing nearby and lush tea gardens surrounding the historical site. It serves as a quiet reminder of the era when Kailashahar was the seat of power. Exploring Dev Place feels like stepping back in time; the air is heavy with nostalgia and the quiet whispers of a bygone era. It is not as crowded as other tourist spots, making it ideal for those who prefer solitude and historical reflection. The site is currently being studied by local historians to establish a clearer timeline of its construction. For visitors, it offers a blend of archaeological interest and natural beauty, as the ruins are slowly being reclaimed by the surrounding greenery. It is a poignant site that highlights the transient nature of power and the enduring beauty of Tripura's landscape.
