Garia Puja :

Garia Puja festival begins on the last day of Chaitra. Lasting for seven consecutive days, it may be termed as the most popular and important festival of the Tripuries. Garia is the deity or benevolent spirit of household. The Tripuries believe that Garia gives wealth, livestock, peace and children. The worship of Garia is performed according to the instructions of the 'Ochai'.

A bamboo pole symbolises the god Garia. Among other ingredients of worship we find flower, garland, cotton thread, paddy, rice, richha, small earthen pots, eggs, fowls chick, rice beer, wine etc. Fowls and chicks are sacrificed according to traditional customs and the blood is sprayed before the deities.

During the puja nobody is allowed to cross the shadow of the symbolic representation of Garia fearing that it may bring the deity's wroth Youngsters dance, sing and play drums. 

Garia Dance :

Due to its mountainous region, Tripuris employ the Jhum cultivation. Tripuris culture and life mainly revolve around the Jhum cultivation. Usually they pray to the God 'Garia' for a good harvest after the sowing of the seeds had been done in the middle of April.

Sometimes the celebrations go on for many days when they decide to entertain their respective deities with the feet of song and dance.
