SHILLONG, Nov 27: The Seng Kur Warjri will celebrate its silver jubilee at Thynroit village on December 12, during which thousands of kinfolks are expected to congregate. The celebration will start at the Mini Marathon in the early hours, which will be followed by the congregation to mark the 25th anniversary of the Dorbar Kur Warjri.
Within this year, the Seng Kur Warjri has organised various cultural and sports events for the children and youth of the Warjri clan. Some of the activities include the flower show, essay and poetry writing, painting and drawing, singing and dancing, and fancy dress exposition.
The winners of the various cultural and sports activities will be rewarded on the final day. The celebration will culminate with a concert in the evening.
Apart from the usual festivities, the day coincides with the Khasi New Year day, based on the lunar calendar, spearheaded by Riti Academy.
The day will be observed to celebrate the Khasi New Year day as part of the silver jubilee celebrations.
The executive council of the Dorbar Kur Warjri has 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.
