As part of the celebrations, the Tripura community organized a lively Baisu procession (Shobhajatra) and performed the traditional Gariya dance. Khagrachhari Hill District Council Chairman Shefalika Tripura attended the event as the chief guest and officially inaugurated the festival. Members of the Tripura community from different professions enthusiastically participated in the colourful march. The Baisabi festival represents a collective celebration of three hill communities: the Biju festival of the Chakmas, the Sangrai festival of the Marmas, and the Baisu festival of the Tripuras. The Tripura community will also observe their three-day programme—Baisuma, Hari Baisuma, and Bisikatal Baisuma—alongside other ethnic groups.
