Muga silk
Muga silk is a luxurious and durable silk produced in the northeastern region of India, particularly in Assam. It is made from the cocoons of the Antheraea assamensis moth, which is native to this area. Muga silk is known for its natural golden color, which becomes more vibrant with age, and its unique luster.
This type of silk is highly valued for its strength and resilience, making it suitable for various garments and traditional attire. Muga silk is often used in sarees, dupattas, and other clothing items, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Assam and its textile traditions.
