The Nartiang Monoliths are a striking heritage site with tall stone structures that feel like an open-air museum. Walking among them gives a sense of ancient community memory—how societies mark events, honour ancestors, and record identity without written plaques. The site is visually powerful, simple, and deeply cultural, making it a must-visit for travellers who enjoy history, anthropology, and unique landscapes. It’s also a great place for photography because the stones stand out strongly against the green hills.
About this place
History & highlights
The monolith tradition belongs to older social systems where stones were raised to commemorate important moments and community milestones. Nartiang’s monolith field represents the legacy of the Jaintia cultural world, where kingship, ceremonies, and public memory shaped the landscape. Today, the monoliths stand as living history—preserved not inside a building, but under the open sky, connected to local pride and heritage.
