    The indigenous Khasis on Monday celebrated the Shad Suk Mynsiem, an annual thanks giving festival.

    Organized annually by the Seng Khasi Seng Kmie, the Shad Suk Mynsiem, also known as the ‘Spring Festival’ started from April 8 and concluded here on Monday.

    Hundreds of people belonging to the ‘Niam Khasi’ including young and old took part in the dancing festival accompanied by the beats of the drums and tangmuri to give thanks to God for all the blessings that he has bestowed.
