Abstract: Tripura is a small, charming hilly state, situated in the Eastern part of India. Tripura is a land of tribal and non-tribal people, but the aborigines of the state were tribes. Presently, there are as many as nineteen tribes in Tripura and every tribe has its own culture and customs. Tripuri tribe is one of the prominent aborigines of this state. Indeed, conventional practices are always visible in family ceremonial activities. “Jamai Khata, an apprenticeship of a bridegroom”, is such a conventional practice that prevailed in the Tripuri society of Tripura and this will be my humble attempt to analytically study the real essence of this social customs of the Tripuri community of Tripura from the present social perspective.
