Solution
Mawsynram, the rainiest place in the world, gets the rain from South-west monsoon wind - Bay of Bengal branch.
Explanation:
Mawsynram lies on the windward side of the Khasi hills, where the moisture-laden Bay of Bengal branch of the SW monsoon is forced to rise and shed huge orographic rainfall; the funnel-shaped hills trap the winds, producing extreme rainfall.
