Assam Bodo Gamsa – Traditional Handwoven Textile Collection from India
Bodo Gamsa Exported from Assam & India
Originating from the Bodo communities of Assam, India, Bodo Gamsa is a traditional handwoven textile primarily worn by men around the waist. Known for its colourful combinations, geometric woven patterns and strong cultural identity, the Gamsa represents the rich handloom heritage of the Bodoland region.
Traditionally woven by skilled Bodo women using handlooms, Bodo Gamsa is increasingly appreciated beyond Assam as an ethnic textile, cultural garment, traditional gift and handcrafted fashion product. Authentic Bodo Gamsa has also received Geographical Indication (GI) recognition, strengthening its identity as a distinctive textile product of Assam.
