Meghalaya (India) is a matrilineal society, where the matrilineal principles, ethos, traditions, and customs are deep seated into the system and orally handed down generations. Kongthong is no exception. Here the practice of tunes or songs as names is rooted in their cultural ethos and passed down orally. It is also a manifestation of their matriliny. This place isn't for people who just want to do sight-seeing. Kongthong is for those with discerning tastes, those who want to experience the rare, unique culture they have there, those who will care to listen, understand and appreciate what they can find only there and nowhere else.
