Tripura Showcases Cultural Grandeur at Garia & Borsho Boron Festival

 




In a vibrant celebration of Tripura’s cultural harmony and indigenous heritage, the state-level Garia and Borsho Boron Utsav was inaugurated on Sunday at the Swami Vivekananda Ground in Agartala. Organised by the Department of Information and Cultural Affairs (ICA), this two-day festival highlights the state's commitment to preserving its diverse traditions through art, music, and dance.


The grand inauguration was led by Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha, who greeted the citizens and paid tribute to the cultural roots of the state. “From Garia to Gajan, Dhamail to Hojagiri – Tripura is a living example of unity in diversity,” said the Chief Minister, reflecting on the deep connection between communities in Tripura. He also announced that the Garia Festival will now be observed with a two-day official holiday, extending from the previous one-day mark. These holidays will fall on the opening and closing days of the celebration. This, he said, was a step towards recognising and honouring the cultural significance of the indigenous people of the state.

The CM reiterated the government's dedication to not only safeguarding the traditional customs of tribal communities but also promoting inter-community harmony across Tripura. He added that initiatives like these aim to strengthen the social fabric by uniting people through cultural exchange.



The dais was graced by ICA Minister Sushanta Chowdhury, Tribal Welfare Minister Bikash Debbarma, Minister Shukla Charan Noatia, West District Magistrate Dr. Vishal Kumar, ICA Vice-Chairperson Subrata Chakraborty, and West District BJP President Biswajit Shil.


The event began with cultural programmes showcasing the rich folk traditions of Tripura. A captivating performance of the traditional Garia dance was followed by a colourful Dhamail dance, with performers dressed in vibrant ethnic attire, delighting the audience.


Later, the Chief Minister visited various stalls set up across the festival venue. Self-help groups under TRLM (Tripura Rural Livelihood Mission) and TULM (Tripura Urban Livelihood Mission) exhibited handicrafts, handloom products, organic goods, and eco-friendly innovations. These stalls reflected the creativity and entrepreneurial drive of local artisans, particularly women-led enterprises.

The Garia and Borsho Boron Utsav serves as more than just a New Year celebration—it is a festival of identity, unity, and empowerment. The government’s proactive cultural policies continue to promote inclusivity and pride in Tripura’s multifaceted heritage.
