A massive dome shaped single rock of granite locally called Lum Kyllang is situated 12 kms from Mairang. It has a girth of more than 1000 ft and stands tall at a height of 5400 ft above sea level. It is believed to have magnetic powers as it is said no one falls off its top. According to Khasi legend Kyllang was a mischievous god known for his mood swings. He often challenged people and showed off his prowess by hurling down rocks. Symper, another giant rock, located at Weiloi is more calm and does to approve Kyllang’s behavior and always protest his violent and destructive nature.
Kyllang did not like Symper’s interference and hence a battle started between the two. Symper won the battle by default since he had accidental blessings in the form of boulders whereas Kyllang only had sand. After the battle, it is believed the Kyllang moved to Khadsawphra in West Khasi Hills and Symper stayed in the same location in East Khasi Hills.
