Cherrapunjee in Meghalaya, India, has the record of being the wettest place in the world. At the entrance to Cherrapunjee village, there is an enclosure where a number of huge stone menhirs are erected. The Khasi people erect these stones in memory of their ancestors. You can see these monoliths all over the state of Meghalaya. My thanks to Sylvia, Sandy, Wren, Klaus and the Fishing Guy for hosting My World Today.

It was only recently that I was reading about the neolithic Stonehenge menhirs of Britain! It was such a coincidence to read about the menhirs of Meghalaya! Glad to have the interesting info.
ReplyDeletewe too, have similar ones in our graveyards.
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of old tombstones here in the states. It looks like they are erected in a small plot right in a neighborhood. Very interesting!
