About Us

AssamGamosa.com is a special attempt to offer the world a unique experience of the rich heritage and culture of the Assamese people and its varied aspects, one of which is the ‘Gamosa’, which is a symbol of our identity and distinctiveness.

Our focus will be to lie out in front of the world, the vivid and vibrant colours and designs of the Assamese ‘Gamosa’, which is woven by skilful and dedicated woman weavers of our state, situated in the North Eastern Region of India. Mahatma Gandhiji had himself praised the weavers of Assam, remarking “Assamese woman weave dreams on their looms.” Moreover, our effort will eventually encompass all the ethnic groups and tribes of Assam, since they too have their own unique style and variations of handicraft and weave some very intricate indigenous clothing and jewellery.

The one thing which is exclusive to Assam is that each tribe or community or sect has their own ‘Gamosa’ style, which we will try to showcase in the near future and will be made available to the world. Apart from the ‘Gamosa’, we shall also promote and present various kinds of clothe-wear and dressing styles of the region, along with jewellery.

Through this website, we would like to build a platform by which the rural woman weavers and people associated with handicrafts and other small scale associations could exhibit their products, making them self-reliant and independent in the global stage.
