SHILLONG: The tranquil village of Mawphlang in Meghalaya has transformed into a vibrant hub of cultural celebration as the 3rd edition of the Monolith Festival kicked off on Thursday at the picturesque Khasi Heritage Village, nestled near the renowned Sacred Groves.

Spanning from March 7 to 9, the festival also marks the commemoration of 54 Khasi Chieftainships.

Enthusiastic attendees from diverse backgrounds, including domestic and international tourists, have flocked to the venue, captivated by the allure of the sacred groves and eager to partake in the festivities.

Expressing his admiration for the event, Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong lauded the efforts of the KHADC in preserving and showcasing the region’s cultural heritage.

Visiting the inaugural day of the festival, Tynsong highlighted the importance of such festivals in fostering a deeper appreciation for the rich traditions passed down by forefathers, echoing the sentiment of cultural continuity and resilience embedded in the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.

KHADC chief Pyniaid Sing Syiem echoed Tynsong’s sentiments, stressing on the festival’s role in spotlighting the unique facets of Khasi culture.

Throughout the festival’s duration, attendees will be treated to an array of captivating performances showcasing traditional Khasi dances, theatrical skits, and soulful music.

From the rhythmic beats of Shad Kruh Ram to the melodic tunes of local artists, the festival offers a dynamic platform for cultural expression and appreciation.

Moreover, visitors can indulge in a sensory feast at the food courts, sampling the diverse flavors of traditional Khasi cuisine and local beverages.

A fashion show highlighting the intricate designs of Khasi attire adds a touch of elegance to the festivities, celebrating the beauty and diversity of cultural dress.

The Monolith Festival serves as a poignant reminder of Meghalaya’s rich historical legacy, with the iconic monoliths standing as silent witnesses to centuries of tradition and heritage.

Scattered across the verdant hills, these monumental stones narrate tales of a bygone era, each bearing its own unique story.
