The ‘Shad Suk Mynsiem’ also known as the Spring Festival was organised by the Seng Khasi, West Khasi Hills. It concluded here with hundreds belonging to the ‘Niam Khasi’ faith clad in traditional attire, dancing to the beat of the drums and tangmuri to thank God for all His blessings. The Shad Suk Mynsiem attracted dancers from across West Khasi Hills so much so that the venue of the event seemed a little congested.
