Assamese silk (Muga and Eri)

Assamese silk, particularly Muga and Eri, is renowned for its quality and uniqueness. Muga silk is exclusively produced in Assam, characterized by its golden sheen and durability, often used for traditional garments. Eri silk, on the other hand, is produced from the Eri silkworm and is valued for its softness and warmth, making it ideal for cooler clothing. Both types of silk are eco-friendly, as they can be harvested without killing the silkworms, and are integral to Assam’s cultural heritage, showcasing the region’s artistry in weaving and textile production.
