If you are new to the world of Teer games Meghalaya hosts, the variety can feel surprising. The state runs more than one archery event each day, each with its own ground, organisers, schedule and audience. From the well-known Shillong Teer played in the heart of the capital, to the busy Khanapara Teer counter on the Assam–Meghalaya border, to the smaller but equally important Juwai Teer in the Jaintia Hills, every game has a story. This guide walks you through all of them, explains how each one works, lists the official FR and SR timings, and shows you the easiest way to follow results online, all in one place.

What Counts as a "Teer Game" in Meghalaya?

Teer is a traditional archery-based number game that has its roots in the Khasi Hills. Archers from registered clubs shoot a fixed number of arrows at a straw target within a defined window. The total number of arrows that land on the target during a round becomes the official result, and the last two digits of that count form the result number. Because Meghalaya is the only Indian state that legalises this format under the Meghalaya Amusements and Participation Tax Act, 1982, all recognised Teer games Meghalaya hosts operate under one regulatory umbrella while still being distinct events.

The five main games most enthusiasts follow are Shillong Teer, Khanapara Teer, Juwai Teer, Shillong Morning Teer and Shillong Night Teer. They run on a Monday-to-Saturday cadence (with Sunday being a non-playing day for most games), and their counters are open during fixed hours before each round. Knowing which game runs at what time is the single most useful piece of information you can have, especially if you plan to visit any of the grounds in person.

The Five Main Teer Games: At a Glance

The table below puts every game side-by-side. Bookmark this section if you regularly switch between games during the day.

Times can shift slightly because of weather, public holidays or local conditions. The associations that run each event publish updates on the day, and result aggregators like Instant Teer Results reflect any change as soon as it is announced.

Shillong Teer: The Flagship Game

Shillong Teer is the oldest, best-documented and most widely followed game on the all Teer games list. It is conducted at the Polo Ground in Shillong by the Khasi Hills Archery Sports Association (KHASA), the body that effectively standardised modern Teer in the state. Each weekday afternoon, around fifty archers from registered clubs gather and shoot arrows at a circular straw target.

The two key rounds are FR (First Round) at 3:45 PM and SR (Second Round) at 4:45 PM. In FR, archers usually shoot 30 arrows each over five minutes; in SR, the count is reduced to 20 arrows. The total number of arrows that strike the target across all archers is announced shortly afterwards, and the last two digits become the result. So if 845 arrows land in FR, the FR number for that day is 45.

Khanapara Teer: Just Across the Border

Khanapara Teer is held at Them Marwet, a small archery ground tucked between the Assam–Meghalaya border. While its rules mirror Shillong Teer almost exactly, its timings are noticeably earlier, FR at 3:40 PM and SR at 4:10 PM, which makes it popular with people who travel from Guwahati. Many enthusiasts watch both Khanapara and Shillong on the same afternoon because the schedules don't overlap.

Khanapara has its own organising committee and its own archers, which is why the result for the day is independent of what happens at Polo Ground. If you are tracking patterns, never assume a Khanapara number will match Shillong; they are two separate events.

Juwai Teer: The Jaintia Hills Game

Juwai Teer (also written as "Jowai Teer") is the only major archery game from the Jaintia Hills district. It runs earlier in the day than the other two, FR at 2:30 PM and SR at 3:00 PM, which lets visitors fit Juwai into their schedule before heading to the afternoon rounds elsewhere. The local association in Jowai conducts its own archery, and arrows shot in Juwai are independent of the rest.

The Juwai event has a more local character than Shillong, with smaller crowds and a strong community feel. For many followers of Teer games Meghalaya, it is the third anchor in the daily routine after Shillong and Khanapara.

Shillong Morning Teer and Night Teer

Two newer additions extend Teer beyond afternoon hours.

Both are conducted with the same archery format and result-counting method. They are organised by associations linked to KHASA and are part of the broader Shillong ecosystem rather than standalone games like Khanapara or Juwai.

How Each Round Is Counted

Across every game, the result mechanic is essentially the same:

  1. A fixed number of archers stand at a marked distance from a circular straw target.
  2. Each archer shoots a defined number of arrows within a strict time window.
  3. Officials count the arrows that successfully struck the target.
  4. The last two digits of the total count become the result number for that round.

This is what gives Teer its skill-meets-chance character. The game depends on real archers performing in real time on a real ground, there are no machines, software draws or random number generators involved. Once the count is verified, the number is announced at the counter and circulated to result aggregators.

How to Check Results for All Teer Games Online

The most convenient way to follow every Shillong Teer, Khanapara Teer or Juwai Teer round is to use a single dedicated results site rather than tracking each association separately.

At instantteerresults.in, FR and SR numbers are published as soon as they are announced at the respective counters. The site has separate sections for Shillong, Khanapara, Juwai, Morning and Night Teer, plus archived charts so you can review past data. Whether you are checking today's outcome or looking up last month's history, having all five games on one page saves a lot of switching between sources.

Quick tip: Bookmark the home page of Instant Teer Results on your phone. The site is mobile-first, so you can refresh a result with a single tap right after FR or SR ends, no app required.

Key Facts and Tips for Newcomers

If you are new to the format, the easiest way to learn is to follow one game, usually Shillong Teer, for a couple of weeks, then add Khanapara and Juwai once you understand the rhythm of FR and SR.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Teer games are there in Meghalaya?

There are four officially regulated Teer games in Meghalaya. Shillong Teer is the largest and runs from Polo Ground in Shillong. Khanapara Teer runs from the Ri-Bhoi district near the Assam border. Juwai Teer runs from the Jaintia Hills in Jowai. Night Teer is an evening event with its own schedule. Each game has separate organising clubs, distinct timings, and independent result counts.

Are all four games run by the same association?

No. Each game is managed by its own local archery club or association. Shillong Teer is conducted by the Khasi Hills Archery Sports Association at Polo Ground. Khanapara has its own conducting body operating from Ri-Bhoi. Juwai is run by Jaintia Hills clubs. Night Teer operates under its own evening framework. The games are connected by tradition and the same archery-based mechanic, but the operational governance is separate for each.

Which Meghalaya Teer game is declared first each day?

Juwai Teer in the Jaintia Hills is the earliest of the day, with First Round at 2:30 PM IST. Khanapara follows at 3:40 PM, Shillong at 3:45 PM, and Night Teer runs in the evening at 8:30 PM IST. The early start in Jaintia Hills reflects how the local clubs traditionally scheduled shooting around the afternoon work rhythm of the region.

Are the Meghalaya Teer game timings the same all year?

Yes for most of the year. The published FR and SR times stay constant across seasons. During heavy monsoon weeks in July and August, individual rounds may be delayed or cancelled for safety. Sundays and Meghalaya state holidays close every counter. The conducting associations announce any longer schedule changes through their notice boards and through the live result page.

Where can I check all four Meghalaya Teer results in one place?

The live result page on Instant Teer Results shows all four counters side by side. Each entry updates after the official declaration at the ground, so you can compare Shillong, Khanapara, Juwai, and Night Teer FR and SR numbers without switching between sites. The page also keeps an archive of past results across all four games.
