Statehood Day is celebrated every 21st of January. The Reorganisation Act mandated the creation of the state of Tripura. Imphal is the capital of northeastern Tripura state. The state is bordered by Bangladesh to the north, south, and west, and the Indian states of Assam and Mizoram to the east.

It is the third-smallest state in the country. It is a landlocked state in North East India. Tripura with 7 other states, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Nagaland are collectively known as the Seven Sister States. The state has a tropical savanna climate.

The state is famous for bamboo and cane handicrafts. Music and dance are integral to the culture of the state. The local musical instruments of the state are sarinda, chongpreng, and sumui. The major Tripuri clans are Debbarma, Jamatia, Reang, Noatia, and Murasing. Other tribal groups such as Chakma, Halam, Garo, Kuki, Mizo, Uchoi, Dhamai, Roaza, Mogh Munda, Oraon, and Santhal are believed to be migrated to Tripura as tea laborers.
