Attraction
Iewduh Market & Police Bazaar
Iewduh (Bara Bazaar) is one of Asia’s largest traditional markets, a vast weekly outdoor gathering that has been running for over 150 years, where Khasi traders from villages across Meghalaya bring fresh produce, handicrafts, and textiles. It is a core highlight of Shillong tourism offering one of the most authentic glimpses into local life. In contrast, Police Bazaar represents the modern city center, with shops, cafés, and venues that anchor Shillong’s lively music scene. Together, these two spaces provide the best introduction to contemporary Khasi life, blending tradition and modernity.
