It will feature bamboo designs, technological elements, and models in traditional dress, reflecting a synergy of ancient customs and contemporary innovations.

The tableau will depict the worship rituals of the 14 deities using bamboo and cane artistry, alongside a homage to Ha-Buma, or earth mother. Included will be performances showcasing Tripura’s historical spirituality and cultural presentations.

The official also noted an aesthetic element, combining modern art with traditional forms, including bamboo and floral designs. A priest will be shown performing traditional rituals, underscoring the region’s cultural heritage.

This event is a broader cultural platform featuring varied presentations from both central and state entities, such as the Ministries of Social Justice, Tribal Affairs, Women and Child Development, New and Renewable Energy, Rural Development, Earth Sciences, Animal Husbandry, and more, along with states including Goa, Uttarakhand, Haryana, and others.
