Shillong Teer, a unique and deeply ingrained tradition in Meghalaya, India, continues to captivate participants and onlookers alike on July 28, 2025. This archery-based betting game blends skill, luck, and cultural significance, making it a prominent part of daily life in the region.
The Shillong Teer game is conducted daily, except on Sundays, with results announced in two rounds. The first round results are typically declared around 3:30 PM or 4:15 PM, followed by the second round results around 4:25 PM or 5:10 PM Indian Standard Time (IST). Participants eagerly await these times to check if their predictions have been successful. In the morning, the Shillong Morning Teer results are announced in two rounds at 10:30 AM and 11:30 AM daily.
In Shillong Teer, archers from various clubs shoot arrows at a target, and participants bet on the last two digits of the total number of arrows that hit the target. For example, if 567 arrows strike the target, the winning number is 67. This simple yet intriguing process draws many people to participate and observe.
The game's legality is ensured by the Meghalaya Amusements and Betting Tax (Amendment) Act 1982, which regulates its operation. This legal framework provides a fair and transparent environment for participants. Shillong Teer is not just a game; it is a source of income for many and a part of the local culture.
The target in Shillong Teer must adhere to specific dimensions, with a height between 61 cm and 102 cm and a circumference between 66 cm and 127 cm. The target distance must be between 15.21 meters and 30.48 meters. Fifty archers participate in the first round, each shooting 30 arrows, while in the second round, 30 archers shoot 20 arrows each.
The amount one can win varies depending on the round and the stake. A correct guess in the first round can yield up to Rs 80 for every Rs 1 invested, while the second round can offer up to Rs 60 for every Rs 1 invested. Predicting the correct number in both rounds can result in winnings of up to Rs 4,000 for every Rs 1 invested; this is known as a forecast.
Many participants rely on various methods to predict the winning numbers, including dream interpretation and mathematical formulas based on past results. Some believe that seeing specific images in dreams corresponds to certain numbers; for example, a snake might represent the number seven. Others keep track of previous results to identify patterns and trends.
While checking results, it's important to use reliable sources. Although some websites might present unofficial "Night Teer" results, these are not authorized by the Khasi Hills Archery Sports Club. Participants also look for Juwai Teer results, as they can influence Shillong Teer outcomes.
