Hello everyone! After a long gap of around 8–9 months, a Circle Level Philatelic Exhibition was finally held at Agartala. So, I thought of putting together a short compilation of the event highlights for all of you through this blog post. Here, I’ve shared some interesting details about the exhibition — its theme, activities, and the special philatelic materials released during the event. The information shared is based on what I’ve received so far, and I’ll keep updating this post as more verified images and details come in from reliable sources.
Philatelists from across the North-Eastern states gathered at Nazrul Kalakshetra, Agartala for the much-awaited Circle Level Philatelic Exhibition – TRIPEX-2025, held from 29th to 31st October 2025.
This exhibition was organized under the patronage of the Chief Postmaster General, North East Circle, Shillong. The aim was to promote the fascinating world of philately and connect young collectors from Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura.
About the Logo
The logo beautifully represents the theme “Flora and Fauna of North-East India.”
At its center lies a colorful map of the North-Eastern states, surrounded by artistic depictions of the region’s biodiversity — a pineapple, leafy plant, exotic flowers, rare fish, and a green pigeon. The black-faced langur stands at the top, symbolizing the wildlife diversity of this rich region. Together, they reflect the natural heritage that the North-East proudly preserves.
Opening Ceremony – 29 October 2025
The exhibition was inaugurated by Maharaj Kumari Pragya Debbarman, Convener, INTACH Tripura Chapter. The venue, Nazrul Kalakshetra, came alive with colorful exhibits, philatelic displays, and the enthusiasm of collectors and students.

A Festival of Stamps and Culture
