Traditional Ker Puja begins in Tripura

Traditional Ker Puja has started in state; this puja is being held in the Ujjayanta Palace of Agartala according to the custom. On this occasion, the Governor and the Chief Minister of Tripura greeted everyone and wished everyone well in the Corona situation.

In the evolution of time, the boundaries of Ker have also decreased. The puja started on Friday night with the sound of artillery. Ker Puja is one of the religious festivals of the dynasty of Tripura. The worship that are seen in the worship of gods and goddesses in Hinduism are not seen in the worship of Ker Puja. First of all, there are no idols of gods and goddesses in this worship.

Ker puja is performed to protect oneself from the fear of supernatural powers and the name of the priest of the ritual and the person under whose direction this puja is performed is Chantai. The strict rules of worship are followed. It is said that anyone who breaks this rule must be punished by divine power. Ker and Kharchi, both are worshiped by the royal family and the Tripuri tribe. In the case of two pujas, the government police are engaged in protecting the sanctity of the puja.

However, there are some restrictive reforms around worship. Chantai became the head of the society during these days of worship, Maharaj can punish anyone who breaks the Ker worship for any reason. Nowadays, the reforms and restrictions of the puja are in force in a large area, including the place of worship. However, these boundaries of the rules of worship are now confined to the western part of the Ujjayanta Palace. People from the designated area are not allowed to enter.

This time the ban was imposed. The ban also applies to certain areas of the city outside the palace from 10 pm to 5am. People living in those places are not allowed to leave their homes during that time. This prohibition remains in force for the first 32 hours of worship Now Ker's boundaries have been reduced.
