Shillong Teer: Meghalaya's Unique Archery Gamers

The Northeast region of India is renowned for its adventurous sports, and Meghalaya stands out with its unique traditional games. One such game is Shillong Teer, also known locally as "Thoh Tim." In Hindi, "Teer" translates to arrow, and this game centers around archery. Shillong Teer is a lottery game that combines archery with dream interpretation, played for centuries by the Khasi tribe in Shillong, Meghalaya. The game takes place every evening, except Sundays and holidays, where archers shoot arrows at a target, and the spectators predict the outcome before the shooting begins.
