Matabari Pera and Pachra, traditional products of Tripura, have been granted Geographical Indication (GI) tags, recognizing their cultural significance and heritage.
Matabari Pera, a dairy-based confectionary, is traditionally served as prasad at the Tripurasundari temple, while Pachra is a handwoven cloth used by the state's Indigenous communities, reflecting the region's rich cultural traditions.
Community-led efforts by organizations like Matabari Mahila Cluster Level Bahumukhi Samabaya Samity Limited and Dewanbari Mahila Cluster Bahumukhi Samabaya Samity Limited have played a crucial role in obtaining GI tags, emphasizing community involvement in preserving traditional crafts and practices.
