"Kamai nong khynraw" is the money and wealth earned by a man while he is still single and unmarried. This money and wealth goes to his mother or "khadduh", the youngest sister of the man.



"Kamai nong khynraw" is one of the many duties that a young Khasi man fulfills towards his family before marriage. This support to his own family is valued and cherished. 🙏💚
