Introduction
Known for its sylvan beauty and a charm that remains unaffected by modernism, Meghalaya is indeed one of the most beautiful states of India, it remains even today one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. Adding to the charm that is gifted by the natural beauty of the land is the rich culture and history of the state, which adds up to form an identity for Meghalaya, that is intrinsically a part of herself, bereft of the influence of others. The pristine beauty of Meghalaya is accentuated by the charm of the land's culture, much of which is made up by the contributions of the tribes like the Khasis, Jaintias and Garos, who take pride in maintaining their heritage and culture. It is perhaps this trait, which makes the region rich in tribal customs, heritage and folklore, that gives rise to some of the predominant Fairs and Festivals of Meghalaya
