Muga Silk of Assam

“Muga” is a purely Assamese word that represents a particular natural colour like golden yellow or brown. As this silk is golden yellow it is named as “Muga Silk”. Muga is popular for its natural colour of spun gold, glossy texture and durability over 50 years .The gold colour and shine of a Muga textile increases with every wash, in sharp contrast to the natural law of decay of shine in fabrics with time. Muga possesses the highest tensile strength among all the natural textile fibers and is comfortable to wear in both summer and winter. Muga is also believed to have medicinal properties and is apparently used as a skin whitener. It is known for its acid resistant quality.
