The Garia Puja Festival is observed in the Indian state of Tripura every year, culminating on the 7th day of the Hindu month of Vaisakha, which typically falls on April 20 or 21. This seven-day festival is dedicated to Baba Garia, the deity of wealth, livestock, and household, and is considered the biggest and most important festival in Tripura. Originally a tribal celebration, Garia Puja has expanded to include all residents of the state, showcasing a blend of cultural practices. Key customs include the worship of a bamboo pole decorated with flowers, where offerings such as eggs and fowl are made to symbolize fertility and prosperity. The festival also features traditional dances, fairs selling local goods, and communal feasts. Major celebrations occur in cities like Agartala, Dharmanagar, and Matabari, with a special event held in Delhi for Tripurans living there, organized by the state government to highlight Tripura's cultural heritage.
