The aztec ruins are located in a village in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya state in north-eastern India, 65 kilometers from Shillong.
Cheerapunji receives a greater amount of rainfall than Shillong because it lies on the windward side of the Garo-Khasi-jaintia Hills of North-Eastern India. Shillong,on the other hand lies on the leeward side of these ranges. Cherrapunji receives rainfall from both the Arabian Sea Branch and the Bay of Bengal Branch of the South-West Monsoon winds.
There are a total of Seven(7) Districts in Meghalaya, They are: East Khasi Hills, Shillong West Khasi Hills, Nongstoin Ri-Bhoi District, Nongpoh Jaintia Hills, Jowai East Garo Hills, Williamnagar West Garo Hills, Tura South Garo Hills, Baghmara
Shillong receives more rain than Kolkata because of its higher elevation and proximity to the Bay of Bengal. The moist air from the Bay of Bengal is forced to rise over the Khasi Hills, leading to heavy precipitation in Shillong. Kolkata, on the other hand, is shielded from these effects by the Eastern Ghats.
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, known locally as "Thoh Tim." In Hindi, "Teer" translates to arrow, and this game centres 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 occurs every evening, except Sundays and holidays, where archers shoot arrows at a target, and the spectators predict the outcome before the shooting begins.
Shillong receives significantly more rainfall than Kolkata primarily due to its geographical location and elevation. Situated in the Khasi Hills at an altitude of about 1,525 meters, Shillong is influenced by the southwest monsoon winds, which bring heavy rains to the region. In contrast, Kolkata, located in the plains near the eastern coast, experiences a different climatic pattern with lower rainfall totals. The orographic effect in Shillong contributes to its high precipitation levels, as moist air is forced to rise over the hills, leading to increased rainfall.
