Tripura celebrates Baba Garia festival at state level for the first time

AGARTALA: For the first time in Tripura’s history, the Baba Garia Festival is being observed at the state level. The two-day event, organised through a collaboration between the state government, the Information & Cultural Affairs (ICA) Department, and the Travel Welfare Department, began in Agartala.  This grand two-day celebration has commenced in the capital city, Agartala, with a vibrant inauguration led by Chief Minister Manik Saha.  Though the festival was observed last year, this year’s celebration marks a significant upgrade in scale, participation, and cultural prominence. Rooted deeply in tradition, the Baba Garia Festival has been observed for generations, dating back to the times of the kings. It holds immense cultural and spiritual importance, especially for the Kokborok-speaking tribal communities of the state. (ANI)
