The centre located at Mawkhar here is being constructed for Rs. 15 crore, and is being envisioned as a living gateway to the Khasi heritage. It will be a space where traditions are not only displayed but actively practised, passed on, and celebrated.

“This is not just a building, but the foundation of a cultural movement — a place where our identity, rituals, beliefs, and way of life are preserved for generations to come,” the Chief Minister said in presence of Deputy Chief Minister in-charge Home Prestone Tynsong, Art and Culture Minister Paul Lyngdoh, community elders, and members of the Seng Khasi.

“For over a century, many important rituals have been performed in open spaces without proper infrastructure. We are correcting that with a commitment that reflects the cultural significance of our people,” Sangma added.
