Agartala, August 3: Ker Puja, a centuries-old tradition, is currently being celebrated in Tripura, continuing a ritual that dates back to the era of the Manikya dynasty.

This significant festival, held two weeks after Kharchi Puja, takes place within the Royal Palace in Agartala with financial support from the state government.

Ker, regarded as the guardian deity of Vastu Devata in Tripura, has been worshipped since the Manikya dynasty began ruling the state.

The deity is believed to protect the state from evil spirits and black magic.

The term “Ker” means “boundary” or “specified area” in Kokborok, the language spoken by the tribals of the region.

During the two-and-a-half-day celebration, no one is allowed to leave the boundary specified by the organizers.

The head priest, or ‘chantai,’ assumes the role of a king during the festivities.

A large piece of bamboo is bent to symbolize Ker, reflecting the tradition’s deep roots in Tripura’s royal history. It is generally believed that the former rulers conducted this Puja for the general welfare of the state’s people.

Strict rituals are observed during Ker Puja, with offerings and sacrifices playing a central role. Eggs, pigeons, and homemade liquor are among the offerings made to the deity and both tribal and non-tribal priests perform the rituals.

The West Tripura district magistrate has notified the area in and around the royal palace for Ker Puja, ensuring that traditional practices are upheld.

Historically, during the royal era, the entire area from Puran Habeli—Tripura’s former capital located about 12 kilometers east of Agartala—was placed under Ker notification.

All forms of amusement, recreation, and ceremonies were banned in the notified areas to maintain the sanctity of the rituals.

Tripura police personnel fire guns to mark the beginning and end of the rituals, a practice that has been maintained over the years.

Ker Puja was originally initiated to safeguard the people from diseases, destitution, and external aggression, highlighting its importance in the state’s cultural and historical fabric.

As the celebrations continue, the people of Tripura are reminded of their rich heritage and the enduring legacy of their royal past.
