Agartala: Festivals are a great way
of showcasing the cultural heritage of a region. Recently, a three-day
long festival was organized in Tripura where people from different
tribes put up an array of enthralling performances.
Dancing to folk music, the dancers from all over the Northeast attracted large crowds to the Umakanta Mini Stadium in Agartala.
Around 300 performers from the Northeast showcased their unique dance forms.
The three-day long tribal festival was
held under the aegis of the Tribal research institute of the Tripura
tribal welfare department with support from the Union Tribal Welfare
Ministry.
The event aimed at creating awareness about the rich and diverse culture of the region, especially among the youth.
"This kind of festival helps a lot in
bridging the gap between people and also helps in spreading peace, unity
and brotherhood among different communities," said State Rural
Development Minister Jitendra Chowdhury.
A fashion show was also organized in which models from different tribes displayed their traditional attires and ornaments.
"People from different parts of Tripura
come here. We get to showcase our clothes, our culture to everyone. In
order to preserve our traditional clothes and styles, we are raising
awareness about them amongst the youth through this event," said
Shayamalal Debbarma, fashion designer.
The Northeast boasts of a rich and
varied culture. And events like this one not only bring together people
on one platform but also help in spreading awareness about the region's
traditions and culture.
