U Ryngkew Basa — Khasi household deity

This entry honours the self-representation of Niam Khasi tradition. India's sacred landscape includes hundreds of traditions beyond the Brahminical-Vedic canon — Jain, Buddhist, Sikh, Sufi Muslim, Zoroastrian, tribal Gondi/Bhil/Khasi, and many more. Each has its own cosmology, theology, ethical system, and sacred geography. Each deserves first-person recognition, not assimilation. - Location: Mawlynnong region, East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya (25.1986°N, 91.8928°E) - Tradition: Niam Khas
