Khanapara Teer vs Shillong Teer: 7 Key Differences You Need to Know

Khanapara Teer and Shillong Teer are the two most popular archery-based Teer games in Northeast India. Both involve archers shooting arrows at a cylindrical target, and both produce two-digit results in two rounds — a First Round (FR) and a Second Round (SR). On the surface, they look almost identical.

But they are not the same game. They take place in different cities, are governed by different associations, follow different timing schedules, and have distinct followings. If you check Teer results regularly, understanding these differences helps you know exactly what you are looking at.

This article breaks down the 7 key differences between Khanapara Teer and Shillong Teer in clear, factual detail.

🏹 Both Are Archery Games — But Not the Same

Before diving into the differences, it is worth noting what the two games have in common. Both Khanapara Teer and Shillong Teer follow the same fundamental format:

• Licensed archers shoot arrows at a cylindrical target in two separate rounds.
• The total number of arrows that hit the target is counted after each round.
• The last two digits of the total hit count become the result — a number between 00 and 99.
• Results are declared Monday through Saturday. No results on Sundays.

The mechanics are the same. The games themselves, however, are entirely independent operations. Here are the 7 differences that set them apart.

1. Location

This is the most fundamental difference. The two games take place in two different cities in two different states.

• Shillong Teer is held at the Polo Ground in Shillong, Meghalaya. Shillong is the capital city of the state of Meghalaya, located in the Khasi Hills at an elevation of approximately 1,500 metres.
• Khanapara Teer is held in Khanapara, Guwahati, Assam. Khanapara is a locality in the southern part of Guwahati, the largest city in Assam and the gateway to Northeast India.

The two venues are roughly 100 kilometres apart by road. They are completely separate archery grounds with different archers, different officials, and different operations.

2. Governing Body

Each game is organized and regulated by a different association, and these associations operate independently of each other.

• Shillong Teer is managed by the Khasi Hills Archery Sports Association (KHASA). KHASA is a long-established body that has been organizing Teer in Shillong for decades. It operates under the regulatory framework of the Meghalaya state government.
• Khanapara Teer is managed by the archery association based in the Khanapara area of Guwahati. This association operates under the applicable regulations of the Assam state government.

Because the governing bodies are different, their rules regarding the number of archers, number of arrows per archer, shooting time windows, and counting procedures may differ slightly, even though the overall format is the same.

3. Result Timing

One of the most practical differences for people who follow both games is the timing of results. The two games declare their FR and SR results at different times.

Khanapara Teer typically declares its First Round result around 3:40 PM IST and its Second Round result around 4:10 PM IST. The gap between FR and SR is approximately 30 minutes.

Shillong Teer declares its First Round result around 3:45 PM IST and its Second Round result around 4:45 PM IST. The gap between FR and SR is approximately 60 minutes — significantly longer than Khanapara.

This means that on any given day, the Khanapara FR result usually comes out about 5 minutes before Shillong's FR, and the Khanapara SR result is typically available about 35 minutes before Shillong's SR. If you follow both games, you will generally see Khanapara results first.

4. Number of Archers

The number of archers who participate in the daily shooting event differs between the two games. Shillong Teer generally has a larger pool of participating archers on any given day compared to Khanapara Teer.

At the Polo Ground in Shillong, it is common to see several hundred archers participating in each round, drawn from multiple registered archery clubs affiliated with KHASA. Khanapara Teer also features a significant number of archers, but the total count tends to be somewhat smaller than the Shillong event.

The number of archers directly affects the total arrow count and, consequently, the final two-digit result. More archers mean more arrows, which typically produces a higher total hit count — though the result itself (the last two digits) is equally unpredictable regardless of scale.

5. Popularity and Following

Both games are immensely popular, but their followings have different geographic centres and different scales of online interest.

• Shillong Teer is the more widely known game nationally. It has a larger online search volume, more dedicated websites, and a stronger presence on social media and messaging platforms. People from across India — not just the Northeast — search for Shillong Teer results.
• Khanapara Teer has a very strong regional following, particularly in Assam and the Brahmaputra valley region. In Guwahati and surrounding areas, Khanapara Teer is followed with as much interest as Shillong Teer. Its online presence has grown significantly in recent years.

In terms of sheer search volume and website traffic, Shillong Teer is the larger game. But in terms of local engagement and daily participation in the Assam region, Khanapara Teer holds its own as a major event.

6. Legal Framework

Both Khanapara Teer and Shillong Teer are legal games. However, they operate under the legal frameworks of their respective states.

• Shillong Teer operates under the Meghalaya Amusements and Participation Tax (Amendment) Act. This legislation provides the legal basis for KHASA to conduct the archery game and for licensed counters to operate in the state of Meghalaya.
• Khanapara Teer operates under the applicable regulations of the Assam state government. Assam has its own framework for permitting archery-based games, and Khanapara Teer operates within those rules.

Both games are licensed, regulated, and subject to government oversight. The key difference is simply that they fall under different state laws because they take place in different states — Meghalaya and Assam, respectively.

7. Online Result Speed

For the thousands of people who check results online rather than at a physical counter, the speed at which results appear on websites matters. There is a noticeable difference in how quickly Khanapara and Shillong results become available online.

• Shillong Teer results tend to appear online very quickly after official declaration — often within 2 to 5 minutes. This is because Shillong Teer has a larger ecosystem of online platforms, verified sources, and automated systems tracking the results.
• Khanapara Teer results have historically taken slightly longer to appear online, though this gap has narrowed significantly. On InstantTeerResults.in, Khanapara results are typically available within 5 to 10 minutes of official declaration.

The speed difference is partly because Shillong Teer's larger online following has driven more investment in automated result-fetching systems. As Khanapara Teer's online audience grows, result speed is catching up.
