Ker Pujas are traditional tribal festivals, which are celebrated in Tripura.
Ker literally means austerity in English. This Puja is celebrated 14 days following the end of the Kharchi puja.
In this festival, a large piece of bamboo when bent in a particular fashion assumes the image of Ker.
It is generally believed that the former rulers used to perform this puja for the general welfare of the people.
It is the strictest puja ever performed by Tripuri people. It may be mentioned here that no puja or worship is so strictly performed as is the Ker puja of Tripuri people.
