The state of Meghalaya is a pristine gem in the northeastern part of India. With mesmerising misty hills and untouched natural spots, Meghalaya holds special importance in Indian geography. What’s more interesting is to know about the tribes of Meghalaya, whose origin can be traced back to that of the state itself. There are three major tribes of Meghalaya, namely, the Garo people, the Khasi People, and the Jaintia tribe.
The names of these tribes are based on which part of Meghalaya they stay in. The Garo reside in the Garo Hills, the Khasi people reside in the East and West Khasi Hills, and the Jaintia people reside in the Jaintia Hills of the state. There are other tribes in Meghalaya which are the minority, namely, Koch, Hajong, Rabha, Mann, and Boro.
The folk dance and festivities mark an important characteristic of the tribes of Meghalaya. The folk dance is performed on festivals and occasions like birth or marriage. Some common folk dances are Shad Suk Mynseim, Nongkrem, Lahoo dance, and Behdienkhlam. The folk dances and festivals of Meghalaya are different for each tribe and are held in open ground like areas.
The Nongkrem dance form marks the religious thanksgiving for harvest, prosperity and peace in the tribal community. The Shad Suk Mynseim festival is celebrated in the region of east and west Khasi hills at the time of the Spring season. The Khasis are dressed in colourful dresses and dance with drums and traditional pipes called tangmuri. The Lahoo dance is performed for a frolic by both males and females by holding arms together.
