GUWAHATI
KAMAKYA
Kamakhya is a locality in Guwahati, Assam,
which is 20 kilometres from the Guwahati Airport and about 6 km from Guwahati
Railway Station, it also has own railway junction called Kamakhya Junction.
Kamakhya is known for presence of ancient
Kamakhya Temple in Nilachal pahar or hill. Ambubachi Mela held here annually
attracts pilgrimage from other parts of country as well as from abroad. In
February 2012, this area came into limelight with the discovery of rock cut
caves built during the reign of Kamarupa king Mahendra Varman.
SHILLONG
Shillong is a hill station and the capital
of Meghalaya, a state in northeastern India. It is the headquarters of the East
Khasi Hills district. Shillong is the 330th most populous city in India with a
population of 143,229 according to the 2011 census.[7] It is said that the
rolling hills around the town reminded the British of Scotland. Hence, they
would also refer to it as the "Scotland of the East"
Shillong has steadily grown in size since it was made the civil station of the Khasi and Jaintia Hills in 1864 by the British. In 1874, on the formation of Assam as the Chief Commissioner's Province, it was chosen as the headquarters of the new administration because of its convenient location between the Brahmaputra and Surma valleys and more so because the climate of Shillong was much cooler than tropical India. Shillong remained the capital of undivided Assam until the creation of the new state of Meghalaya on 21 January 1972, when Shillong became the capital of Meghalaya, and Assam moved its capital to Dispur in Guwahati.
CHERRAPUNJI
The history of the Khasi people – native
inhabitants of Sohra– may be traced from the early part of the 16th century.
Between the 16th and 18th centuries, these people were ruled by their tribal
'Syiems (rajas or chiefs) of Khyriem' in the Khasi Hills. The Khasi hills came
under British authority in 1833 with the submission of the last of the
important Syiem, Tirot Sing Syiem.[citation needed]
The main pivot on which the entire
superstructure of Khasi society rests is the matrilineal system.[
The original name for this town was Sohra
(soh-ra), which was pronounced "Cherra" by the British. This name
eventually evolved into a temporary name, Cherrapunji, meaning 'land of
oranges', which was first used by tourists from other parts of India. It has
again been renamed to its original form, Sohra.
Despite abundant rainfall, Sohra faces an acute water shortage and the inhabitants often have to trek very long distances to obtain potable water.Irrigation is hampered due to excessive rain washing away the topsoil as a result of human encroachment into the forests. Recent developments of rain-water harvesting techniques in the area have greatly helped the town and its neighbouring villages
DAWKI
The highlight of Dawki in Meghalaya is the Umngot River, which is like a floating mirror. The green water of this mountain fed water-body is so clear that you can actually see the riverbed. This Dawki river forms the natural boundary between Ri Pnar/ Jaintia Hills and the Hima Khyrim of Khasi Hills
MAWLYNNONG
Mawlynnong has earned a reputation for
being one of the cleanest villages in Asia, but a sobriquet that does more
justice is that of God's Own Garden.
Mawlynnong is a village in the East Khasi
Hills district of the Meghalaya state in North East India. It is notable for
its cleanliness and also was chosen by Discover India magazine as Asia's
cleanest village. The village comes under the Pynursla community development block
and Vidhan Sabha constituency
LIVING
ROOT BRIDGE
A living root bridge is a type of simple
suspension bridge formed of living plant roots by tree shaping. They are common
in the North-Eastern part of the Indian state of Meghalaya. They are handmade
from the aerial roots of rubber fig trees by the Khasi and Jaiñtia peoples of
the mountainous terrain along the southern part of the Shillong Plateau. Most
of the bridges grow on steep slopes of subtropical moist broadleaf forest
between 50 and 1,150 m (160 and 3,770 ft) above sea level.
As long as the tree from which it is formed
remains healthy, the roots in the bridge can naturally grow thick and
strengthen. New roots can grow throughout the tree's life and must be pruned or
manipulated to strengthen the bridge. Once mature, some bridges can have as
many as 50 or more people crossing, and have a lifespan of several hundred
years.Without active care, many bridges have decayed or grown wild, becoming
unusable.[7] Written documentation of living root bridges was sparse until the
2010s, but in 2017, researchers geo-located a total of 75 living root bridges.
Living root bridges have also been created
in the Indian state of Nagaland,[9] in Indonesia at Jembatan akar on the island
of Sumatra, and in the Banten province of Java, by the Baduy people.
