Assam silk is a luxurious fabric produced in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. It is primarily made from the cocoons of the muga and eri silkworms, which are native to the region. Known for its natural golden hue and durability, Assam silk is highly valued for traditional garments like sarees and mekhela chadors. The production of Assam silk involves a meticulous process, including sericulture, where silkworms are raised and harvested for their cocoons. This craft has been passed down through generations, supporting local artisans and contributing to the cultural heritage of Assam.
