About the Book

Lei Shyllong: Sentinel of the Sacred Heights is a profound exploration of the spiritual and cultural legacy of Lei Shyllong, the guardian deity of Shillong Peak, whose protective presence has shaped the lives of the Khasi people for centuries. Rooted in a landscape where mist-clad mountains meet sacred groves, this book weaves together ancient myths, folklore, and oral traditions to reveal the deep reverence the Khasis hold for nature and the divine. At its heart, the book explores how Lei Shyllong's guardianship embodies the Khasi worldview-one where spirituality and the environment are inseparable. From the sacred rituals performed by local priests (Lyngdohs) to the songs (Phawar) that echo through village gatherings, each chapter captures the essence of a living faith that has withstood the tides of modernity and religious conversion. The resilience of indigenous practices, the symbolism of sacred sites, and the enduring role of women as custodians of these traditions are thoughtfully examined. The book also addresses the challenges faced by the Khasi faith in an era of rapid urbanization and environmental degradation, highlighting efforts to preserve sacred groves and rituals linked to Lei Shyllong. By combining detailed historical research with personal narratives of faith and pilgrimage, Lei Shyllong: Sentinel of the Sacred Heights invites readers into a world where mountains are more than landscapes-they are sanctuaries of divine power, guardianship, and cultural identity. This is a story of faith's endurance and the timeless bond between a people and their sacred peak.
