This traditional practice is famously found among the Khasi and Jaintia peoples in the state of Meghalaya in Northeast India. 3. These living root bridges are a remarkable example of indigenous bio-engineering and are a major attraction in Meghalaya (e.g., near Cherrapunji). 4. While some forms of natural or simple wooden bridges might exist elsewhere, these specific, elaborate 'living root bridges' are characteristic of Meghalaya. 5. The other states listed – Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Tamil Nadu – are not known for this unique tradition. 6. Therefore, the correct answer is Meghalaya (A).
