Festivals and Important Days Observed in Meghalaya

Below is the list of festivals and important days celebrated by the people of Meghalaya:

1. Nongkrem Dance Festival: The drive to Smit which is about 15kms from Shillong, is exhilarating as the experience of driving through narrow roads and beautiful hills. The Khasi tribe’s Syiem, the administrative head of the region, begins the festival with a dance in front of a wooden pillar known as “U Rishot Blei”. Young women and men perform the Nongkrem dance dressed in their traditional attires exhibiting their culture and traditions.
    
2. Behdienkhlam Festival: Celebrated in the month of July, the harvest festival of Behdienkhlam is observed over a period of three days. The word Behdienkhlam means “driving away evil by wooden sticks”. It is a symbolic gesture by young men of driving away any evil spirit, pests and plagues by hitting the roof of the house with bamboo sticks.
    
3. Autumn Festival: The capital of Shillong comes alive during the Autumn festival. Several functions and events are organised by the local administration for tourists and locals.
