"This is a Banarasi Bandhani Dupatta - an ideal party wear. The art of Bandhani is a highly skilled process. The technique involves dyeing a fabric, which is tied tightly with a thread at several points,thus producing variety of patterns like Leheriya, Mothra, Ekdali and Shikari depending on the manner in which the cloth is tied. Bandhani work, after the processing is over, results into a variety of symbols including, dots, squares, waves and strips. A meter length of cloth can have thousands of tiny knots .These knots form a design once opened after dyeing in bright colors.

FABRIC: Muga Silk is made from the semi-cultivated silkworm. It is organic and natural and has the strongest natural fibre. Muga silk (Muga Paat) or the golden silk is not only a nature's gift to Assam, but also a symbol of rich Assamese culture. It represents the brilliance of traditional attire of the region. The most significant characteristic of 'Muga silk' is its golden bright hue. Its name is derived from Assamese word 'Muga', which means yellow. The fabric is superior in every respect in comparison to the normal white silk that is available all over the world. It is also much more durable. With time it only becomes more beautiful. Muga silk's brightness improves with every wash. It's no wonder that Muga silk is one of the costliest silks available in the world. Today, the cost of Muga silk is so high that for a middle-class woman in Assam it has become a prized possession, just as her gold ornaments.
