Agartala: In a significant development, two iconic products of Tripura—Tripura Sundari Peda also referred to as Matabari Peda (a milk-based sweet dish) and indigenous attire Rignai—that are deemed an integral part of the state’s identity have been accorded the Geographical Indication certification under food and textile categories respectively.
The total number of GI tagged products rose to four with the new additions. Tripura grown queen variety of pineapple and tribal attire Risa had already received the intellectual property status for Tripura. However, Tripura’s application for securing the GI tag for Jackfruit was rejected.
Application for four more products which include Tripura cane craft, Musical instrument Sarinda, Reang Jewelry of Tripura, and Tripura painting are still pending.
