The traditional sport of archery played in the north-eastern state of Meghalaya has inspired the now popular Shillong Teer betting lottery game. The Khasi Hills Archery Sports Association organises the Shillong Teer betting-lottery game from Monday to Saturday at Polo Ground in Meghalaya’s capital city.
