Abstract
The Tripuri or Tiprasa people have a long-standing tradition of worshipping various deities, deeply rooted in their ancestral heritage. Among these sacred practices, Lampra Wathop holds a unique and significant place as a central ritual representing the spiritual identity of the community. This form of worship is not merely a religious act but a cultural expression aimed at ensuring the overall well-being and prosperity of the family. Wathop rituals are performed during pivotal life events such as the birth of a child, marriage ceremonies, and funerals. Through these ceremonies, the Tripuri people seek blessings for growth, harmony, and continuity within their families and communities. This study explores the cultural, ritualistic, and symbolic significance of Lampra Wathop as a core aspect of Tripuri spiritual life.
Keywords: Wathop, Lampra, Mwtai, Tripuri.
