"Mawbynna" is the generic Khasi word for the many different types of monoliths erected by the Khasi or Hynniewtrep people of Meghalaya, which are the most visible of the stone monuments of the Ri Hynniewtrep area.
These monoliths, "mawbynna" vary in size from less than a meter high to perhaps 7 to 8 meters in some cases, and can be found either in linear groups or singly.
The horizontal table stones are considered female while the upright ones male.
