Ker Puja
The Ker puja is observed by the Reangs for the welfare of the village where the village community takes share of it. The Supernatural belief of the Reangs is that the festival Ker is held in order to shield from disease, anxiety, epidemic, capture, and all sort of natural calamities caused by the Supernatural deities. The Ker is celebrated in the month of Phalgun-Chaitra on any Saturday or Tuesday. Sri Pradip Nath Bhattacharjee is of the opinion that “The chief characteristic of the Ker is MUDRA which indicates binding of festering with seal of an area. During the puja the villagers are restricted to light an oven, they are not supposed cross the boundary of Ker”.
