The Mahamuni Pagoda in Agartala, while housing a replica, draws its profound historical resonance from the original Mahamuni Buddha image in Arakan, a sacred icon whose antiquity is traced to the Buddha's lifetime. The decision by the Tripura Royal Family in the late 19th century to commission this replica and establish a dedicated shrine in Agartala was not merely an act of piety but a significant historical gesture. It underscored the Manikya dynasty's long-standing tradition of multi-religious patronage and their strategic engagement with the diverse cultural currents flowing into their kingdom, particularly from the contiguous regions of Arakan and the Chittagong Hill Tracts. This period witnessed a notable migration of Buddhist communities, including the Chakma, Mog, and Barua, into Tripura, making the establishment of such a prominent spiritual anchor a crucial historical development for these communities. This late 19th-century construction also reflects a distinct phase in Tripura's socio-religious landscape, where the royal court actively facilitated the integration and spiritual sustenance of its burgeoning Buddhist population. The original Mahamuni image in Myanmar was historically a symbol of kingship and political legitimacy, and its replication in Tripura, even if centuries later, implicitly positioned the Tripura monarchs as protectors and patrons of the Buddhist faith within their domain. This act of establishing a replica was a deliberate historical choice, cementing a spiritual and cultural bridge between Tripura and the broader Theravada Buddhist traditions of Southeast Asia, while simultaneously serving as a testament to the enduring indigenous roots of Buddhism within the Indian subcontinent.
