Tucked into the green folds of the Jaintia Hills, Jowai Ladrymbai Teer is one of the most distinctive corners of Meghalaya's archery game. It is run from two busy hill towns, Jowai and Ladrymbai, rather than the larger arenas around Shillong, and it carries the unhurried rhythm of the Pnar heartland. If you have only ever followed Shillong or Khanapara, the Jaintia Hills version can feel like a quieter, earlier cousin with its own loyal following. This guide walks through where these games are played, how an arrow on a bamboo target becomes the number you see online, the exact timings to remember, and the safest way to check the result on the same afternoon.
Jowai Ladrymbai Teer is the everyday name for the archery-based number games of the Jaintia Hills, anchored by two towns. Jowai is the headquarters of West Jaintia Hills district, sitting roughly 64 kilometres southeast of Shillong along NH-6, on a plateau wrapped by the Myntdu river. It is the cultural centre of the Pnar (also called Jaintia) community and is best known nationally for the Behdienkhlam festival. Ladrymbai lies further east, in the East Jaintia Hills district near the commercial and coal-trading belt around Khliehriat. Two towns, one shared archery tradition.
Both games run under the state's regulated archery framework. A recognised local club or association organises the event at a fixed ground, licensed archers do the shooting, and counters record the outcome. Because the two towns sit in the same region and follow a similar afternoon rhythm, result sites usually list Ladrymbai Teer result and Jowai numbers side by side, which is how the combined name came about.
The core idea is the same one used across Meghalaya. Every round produces a number between 00 and 99, giving exactly one hundred possible outcomes. There is no electronic draw and no spinning machine. The figure is generated by how many arrows physically land on the target during a timed shooting session, which is what makes Teer different from an ordinary lottery and ties it to a genuine sporting craft. Among the Meghalaya Teer games list, the Jaintia Hills pair stands out for being the earliest of the day.
On the surface the process looks simple, but underneath it is tightly organised. Each game day, Monday through Saturday, registered archers gather at the Jowai or Ladrymbai ground in the early afternoon. Every archer carries a set quota of arrows, usually around thirty, and shoots at a cylindrical bamboo target within a strict time limit. Here is how a single round flows:
So if 1,463 arrows land on the target, the result is 63. If exactly 1,500 land, the result is 00. Two separate rounds are played each day, the First Round (FR) and the Second Round (SR), and each has its own independent count. Nothing carries over between them, which is why the FR and SR numbers are almost always different. This is the same counting method used in Shillong and Khanapara, so once you understand one Teer game, you understand them all.
The single most useful thing to remember about Jowai Teer timing is that it runs earlier than Shillong. The Jaintia Hills shooting happens in the early afternoon, while Shillong's rounds come later in the day. For Jowai, the published schedule is:
Ladrymbai Teer holds its own FR and SR rounds in the same early-to-mid afternoon window. Because the exact declared minute for Ladrymbai can shift from club to club, the most reliable approach is to watch the live results page rather than fix a precise clock time in your head. As with every Teer game, these are target times, not guarantees. The actual moment a number goes live can slide by five to ten minutes depending on arrow counts, the weather, and how smoothly the shooting ran. During the monsoon, heavy rain over the Jaintia Hills can push the SR back noticeably, since wet arrows and slippery grips slow the whole process down.
💡 Tip: On a Jaintia Hills game day, watch the FR first. If the First Round is running late, the Second Round will almost certainly be delayed too, so there is no need to refresh anxiously.
For years the only way to learn a Jaintia Hills number was to know someone standing at the ground. Today the result travels much faster, but speed has a downside: forwarded screenshots and unverified messages spread just as quickly, and they are easy to fake. The safer habit is to rely on a single, consistent source that updates straight after the club's official declaration.
That is exactly what Instant Teer Results is built for. The platform tracks the daily FR and SR figures for the major Meghalaya games and refreshes the Jaintia Hills numbers soon after they are announced, so you are not depending on a friend's blurry photo. To follow the result the simple way:
Because the same page also carries Juwai, Shillong and Khanapara figures, you can cross-check the entire afternoon's results in one place instead of hopping between unreliable channels.
The Jaintia Hills games share their DNA with the bigger Meghalaya and Assam rounds, but the timing, location and operators set them apart. This side-by-side comparison shows where they fit in the day:
| Teer Game | Location | Operator | FR Time | SR Time | Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jowai / Ladrymbai Teer | Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya (Jowai & Ladrymbai) | Local Jaintia Hills archery clubs | 2:30 PM (Jowai) | 3:00 PM (Jowai) | FR & SR |
| Shillong Teer | Polo Ground, Shillong, Meghalaya | Khasi Hills Archery Sports Association | 3:45 PM | 4:45 PM | FR & SR |
| Khanapara Teer | Khanapara, near Guwahati, Assam | Khanapara archery organisers | 3:40 PM | 4:10 PM | FR & SR |
Read top to bottom, the table tells the story of the afternoon. The Jaintia Hills games open the day around 2:30 PM, Khanapara follows from 3:40 PM with a tight half-hour gap between its rounds, and Shillong closes things out from 3:45 PM with a full hour between FR and SR. Many regular followers track all three in sequence, treating the early Jowai and Ladrymbai numbers as the warm-up to the later declarations.
It is the combined name for the archery-based number games of Meghalaya's Jaintia Hills, played in Jowai (West Jaintia Hills) and Ladrymbai (East Jaintia Hills). Licensed archers shoot arrows at a bamboo target, and the last two digits of the total number of arrows that land become the result for each round.
The Jaintia Hills games run in the early afternoon, earlier than Shillong. Jowai Teer publishes its First Round at 2:30 PM IST and its Second Round at 3:00 PM IST, Monday to Saturday. Ladrymbai Teer holds its rounds in the same afternoon window, and the exact declared time appears live on the results page.
Yes, within Meghalaya. Archery-based Teer is a licensed, regulated activity in the state, and the Jaintia Hills games operate through recognised organisers and registered counters. Teer is not authorised in states that have not legalised it, so the legal status depends entirely on where you are.
Registered archers each shoot a fixed quota of arrows, usually around thirty, at a cylindrical bamboo target within a set time. Officials count every arrow that lands, total the count, and take the last two digits, from 00 to 99, as the result. There is no machine and no random draw, the number comes from the shooting itself.
You can follow the daily FR and SR numbers on Instant Teer Results. The page updates soon after each club's official declaration and lists the Jaintia Hills games next to Shillong and Khanapara, so you can verify everything in one place rather than relying on forwarded screenshots.
