Seng Kut Snem is an annual holiday observed in Meghalaya, India, on November 23, celebrating the history, culture, and traditions of the Khasi people, who are the largest ethnic community in the state. Originally a New Year’s Eve and thanksgiving festival, it has evolved into a day dedicated to showcasing Khasi heritage. The holiday is named after the Seng Khasi, a cultural and religious organization established in 1899 to protect the Khasi language and traditions. Festivities include colorful processions, folk dances, traditional games, and displays of handmade products, where Khasis don their best attire and invite people from other ethnic groups to join in the celebrations. The Khasi population, approximately 1.5 million, primarily resides in the eastern part of Meghalaya, with some also living in Assam and Bangladesh. Seng Kut Snem serves as a vibrant reminder of the Khasi people's rich cultural legacy.
