Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya Bahadur (19 August 1908 – 17 May 1947) was a king (or Maharaja) of Tripura State. He is known as "the architect of modern Tripura".[1][2][3][4]
He was succeeded by his son, Maharaja Kirit Bikram Kishore Debbarman, who was the nominal king for two years till the state's merger into India in 1949. Since he was a minor during this time, the state was governed by a Council of Regency headed by his mother, Kanchan Prava Devi.[5]
