Abstract Tripura, a north-eastern state of India, is a melting pot of diverse ethnic groups, each contributing to a rich and vibrant folk culture. This cultural heritage, deeply rooted in traditional music, dance, rituals, and festivals, has played a crucial role in fostering harmony and solidarity among various communities. Folk culture serves as a bridge between different ethnic groups, preserving indigenous traditions while promoting collective identity and social cohesion. Festivals such as Kharchi Puja, Garia Puja, and Ker Puja, among others, have evolved over time, reflecting both historical continuity and cultural adaptation. These festivities not only celebrate spiritual and religious beliefs but also act as unifying forces, bringing together people from different backgrounds in shared experiences of joy and devotion.
This research aims to examine the significance of folk culture in promoting solidarity in Tripura, highlighting its role in preserving ancestral traditions and reinforcing a sense of belonging. Additionally, the paper delves into the historical evolution of these cultural practices, exploring how they have been passed down through generations and adapted to contemporary society. By analysing the interplay between tradition and modernity, this study underscores the enduring impact of folk culture in strengthening social ties and ensuring cultural sustainability.
