Contact SupplierThe Gomuza or Gamosa is a clothing article which holds great significance and meaning to the people of Assam. It is a small white rectangular piece of cloth, with borders on three sides and a few motifs on the fourth. Though cotton is the most common material used to weave these gomuzas, silk is used for celebratory and auspicious occasions. The designs on the gomuzas are relatively simple with stripes or checked patterns and only the fourth border is woven with more designs and motifs of flora and vines. An extremely intricate process, it is known for its simplicity and elegant charm and represents the warmth and hospitality of the people of Assam towards their guests, as they greet them by adorning the guests with brand new gomuzas.
