Tripura Cultural Festival Bangladesh in Khagrachhari
Garia Puja is the Tripura community's own harvest ritual inside Khagrachhari's Baishu season, built around a bamboo pole worshipped as the livestock deity Garia, a cock sacrifice and the circular Garia dance performed by young dancers. Bangladesh-side documentation is thin compared with the same festival in neighboring Tripura state, India.
A bamboo pole planted at the centre of a Tripuri courtyard stands in for Lord Garia for a day, hung with flowers before drummers start the Garia dance.
