Discussion
This puja is performed within a specially marked boundary to ward off all dangers. Name it.
Answer: D
The puja is Ker.
Ker puja is held in Tripura about two weeks after Kharchi puja. Before it begins, a boundary is marked out around the area concerned, and for the duration of the rites nobody may enter or leave it; the puja is performed to protect the people within from danger and calamity. Ker is worshipped as a guardian deity.
Garia puja honours Garia, a deity of the Tripuri and other tribes, and Kharchi puja is the festival of the fourteen deities at Agartala; neither depends on a sealed boundary. Ganga puja is a separate tribal rite. Only Ker is defined by the marked boundary.
