Tripura: The Tripura Sundari Temple, one of the revered 51 Shakti Pithas, is witnessing a shift that may soon lead to the extinction of its tradition.
For centuries, the temple has been renowned for its unique prasad, 'Pera', traditionally served in clay pots.
This practice is integral to the temple's heritage and spiritual significance. However, modernization and economic challenges are threatening this age-old custom.
Clay pots, once an abundant and essential part of the temple's offerings, are becoming scarce.
The advent of plastic containers is pushing the traditional earthen pots to the brink of disappearance.
Plastic, being more readily available and cost-effective, has become the go-to replacement for many shopkeepers who supply Pera to devotees. (with Agency inputs)
