The Seng Kur Warjri will celebrate the Silver Jubilee on December 12 at Thynroit village where thousands of kinfolks are expected to attend.
The celebration will commence with a mini marathon which will be followed by the congregation to mark the anniversary.
Members of the executive committee of the clan during a press conference today said apart from the usual festivities, since the day coincides with the Khasi New Year, based on the lunar calendar spearheaded by Riti Academy, the day will also be observed.
“We have also resolved to revitalise the clan and embrace the various segments of the clan with variation of nomenclatures in the course of history and social situations. The idea is to avoid any confusion and conflict with other clans of the same nomenclature and to strengthen the ancient matrilineal system of clan lineage and regulate uniformity of the clans from the core of origin within the Khasi society,” the members said.
The winners of the various cultural and sports activities held this year to commemorate the anniversary will also be rewarded on the final day. The celebration will culminate with a music concert in the evening.
