Sohra Don Bosco Shrine in Cherrapunjee, Meghalaya
Don Bosco Shrine located at Maraikaphon, Sohra. This is the only Shrine in all India dedicated to Don Bosco.
Cherrapunji stands out as the centre of Khasi culture and society. The numerous neoliths and megaliths (known in the Khasi language as ‘mawbynna’) honouring the dead, speak volumes on the bygone splendour of the kingdom. The innumerable Khasi songs and folklore which have their origin and setting in Cherrapunji point to a chequered history of culture, art, literature, dance and religion. Even today, the social fabric which constitutes Khasi life look to Cherrapunji for inspiration and guidance. If one would discover all that is best in the Khasi culture and tradition, one must turn to Cherrapunji.
Christianity was first brought to Sohra kingdom in 1813 by Krishna Chanora Pal, a missionary from Serampore, sent by William Carey. Duwan and Anna, it is believed were the first Khasi converts to Christianity. Chandra Pal returned to Serampore after six months and only in 1832 did the next missionary, Alexander B. Lesh, arrive in Cherrapunji, where he took up residence, the first missionary to do so. In the following year Cherrapunji became the British administrative capital of Assam. Lesh opened schools in Cherrapunji, Mawsmai and Mawmluh, but in 1838 heleft the Khasi Hills, thus ending the Baptist presence there. Though the Baptist did not stay long, their contribution was lasting. As early as 1874 William Carey brought out the “Khashee New Testament”, using the Bengali script as Khasi had yet not script of its own.In 1841 Thomas Jones and his wife, Presbyterian missionary arrived in Cherrapunji. It was Jones who adapted the Roman script to the Khasi language, which was till then unwritten. In 1891 the Presbyterians brought out the Khasi Bible.

School going girls at Cherapunji town
Cherapunji also called Sohra, Cherrapunjee and Charrapunji, is a town in East Khasi Hills district in the Indian state of Meghalaya. It is credited as being the wettest place on Earth. However, nearby Mawsynram has more rainfall nowadays, and both are surpassed by Lloró, Colombia. Today, climatic changes have edged Cherrapunji out of the topmost 'wet' slot, but it still retains its pristine beauty, its unusual facets, the perpetual clouds, and the perpetual mists. Appropriately, Cherrapunji lies in the heart of the State of Meghalaya-the abode of clouds. It is the traditional capital of a hima which is a Khasi tribal chieftainship constituting a petty state known as Sohra or Churra. High above misty valleys and foaming rivers, ensconced in swirling clouds and perched on an escarpment, lies Cherrapunji (4,500 feet).
Cherrapunji receives rains from the Bay of Bengal arm of the Indian summer monsoon. The monsoon clouds fly unhindered over the plains of Bangladesh for about 400 km. Thereafter, they hit the Khasi Hills which rise abruptly from the plains to a height of about 1370 m above mean sea level within 2 to 5 km. The winds push the rain clouds through these gorges and up the steep slopes. The rapid ascent of the clouds into the upper atmosphere hastens the cooling and helps vapours to condense. Most of Cherrapunji's rain is the result of air being lifted as a large body of water vapour. The extreme amount of rainfall at Cherrapunji is perhaps the best-known feature of orographic rain in northeast India.
The home of enterprising Khasi clans, Cherrapunji's place in the Guinness Book of Records is not its only claim to fame. Along with falls lesser in height but no less alluring, the spectacular, cascading 1,035-ft-high Mawsmai Falls-the fourth highest in India-lie just a few kilometers beyond Cherrapunji. Close by is situated a fascinating labyrinth of underground passages beneath age-old caves-a veritable dream for amateur explorers. Elsewhere around Cherrapunji, Khasi monoliths (stones in memory of their ancestors) lie dotted around-a vague reminder of the forests of Bastar. Cherrapunji has several comfortable private hotels. Staying at the Circuit House and the Dak Bungalow require prior permission from the administration. Cherrapunji is 58 km from Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya. A steep motorable road, almost perpetually bathed in mist as it climbs upwards on the last lap, leads up to Cherrapunji. Buses and taxis ply to Cherrapunji from Shillong.

Largest Church of North East India - Cathedral of Mary
#cathedral_of_mary #Northeast #Church #simplyassamese
The Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians is a Cathedral in Shillong, Meghalaya. It is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Shillong which covers the districts of East Khasi Hills and Ri-Bhoi. The Cathedral is the principal place of worship of the over 300,000 strong Catholics of the Shillong Archdiocese which covers RI Bhoi and East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya. An Archdiocese is a diocese or area under the jurisdiction of an Archbishop. In all there are 33 church districts or Parishes in the Shillong Archdiocese. The Cathedral Church was built over 50 years ago. Since it also has the cathedra – the seat or throne of the Bishop – it is known as a Cathedral Church. This place of worship stands on the very site of the first Church built by the German fathers. The earlier 1913 building – the Church of the Divine Saviour – was a wooden structure. It was destroyed by the Good Friday fire of April 10, 1936. Built by the first Catholic missionaries to these hills, the Salvatorian Fathers from Germany, it was the first Catholic Cathedral Church in what was then the Mission of Assam.
