How To Reach Moo Iong Syiem

Jowai, Meghalaya, India
Historical Significance: Moo Iong Syiem literally means "Stone of the Great King." It specifically refers to the tallest and largest monolith within the famous Nartiang Monolith Garden. This site was the summer capital of the powerful Jaintia Kings (Syiem). The entire complex, including the Moo Iong Syiem, was erected by the powerful minister of the King, U Mar Phalyngki, and later additions were made by other royal figures. The monoliths stand as a testament to the might and rich cultural, religious, and political history of the Jaintia Kingdom which once extended to parts of Assam and Bangladesh. The stone symbolizes the central authority and power of the King and serves as a remembrance of the royal lineage and their contributions to the Pnar society.:
