Tripura's tribal communities — Tripuri, Reang, Jamatia and others — mark the agricultural year with festivals like Garia Puja and Kharchi Puja, danced through forms like Hojagiri, performed balanced on an earthen pitcher without using hands.
Handloom Rignai and Risa textiles, worn as the everyday dress of Tripuri women, carry the same geometric patterns found in the state's bamboo and cane craft — a shared visual language across material.
