All About The Gamusa:
The Assamese Gamusa is a handwoven cotton textile from Assam. It is usually white with crimson or maroon stripes on the edges and may include ornate motifs woven into it. Being a versatile piece of cloth, it plays a vital role in Assamese culture and is worn in a variety of social, cultural, and religious activities.
Additionally, the Gamusa also represents hospitality, kindness, and respect and is also given as a gift to guests or used to honour significant people.
In recent years, the Gamusa, also known as Gamucha, has gained popularity outside of Assam and is now recognised as a symbol of India's whole northeast area.
