Khasi Archery
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Archery is part of the traditional rites of Indigenous people in Meghalaya with folk tales of its origins told for generations. The rules of the event are set by the Khasi Hills Archery Sports Institute. Archery is still common in some villages, with a colonial-era custom of betting on polo matches now prevalent in modern archery competitions.[1]
Khasis, along with the Jaintias and the Garos, are the Indigenous people of the state. The ancient skill of archery thrives in Shillong, the capital of the Northeastern Indian state of Meghalaya. Every day, behind a row of liquor shops and next to a motor garage, this event is held except on Sundays and state holidays.
