Ishan Chandra Manikya died in 1862 after ruling
Tripura kingdom for 13 years. After Ishan Chandra Manikya's death, his eldest son was supposed to become the king, but
Bir Chandra Manikya, his brother, usurped the throne and became the next king of the kingdom.
Ujjayanta Palace official Shri Kailas Singh then advised Ishan Chandra Manikya's children to move to neighboring
Comilla,
Tipperah District of
Bengal Presidency, one of them was
Nabadwipchandra Dev Burman who moved there with his family in 1870. He built a house to live in the East Chartha area there, the expenses of which were borne by his uncle Bir Chandra Manikya. In 1947, after the
partition of India, Comilla became part of the province of
East Bengal of the
Dominion of Pakistan. As a result, all the members of the
Manikya dynasty living in Comilla left the city and migrated to
India It was converted into the government farm office and the residence of the farm manager after 1985. Then the
Department of Livestock Services renovated the building. This house has not been renovated or cared for since the renovation for long time. A report on the condition of the palace was aired on
Maasranga Television in 2013. The district authority of Comilla noticed the report, which resulted in the authority taking ownership of the house and renovating it the following year. ==Legacy==
