The Soul of Assam: Handwoven Phulam Gamosa

At Assamyumm, we bring you more than just a product; we bring you the emotion of Assam. The Assamese Gamosa (or Gamocha) is the quintessential symbol of Assamese culture, representing honor, respect, and deep-rooted tradition.

Whether you are looking to felicitate a guest, offer prayers at the Namghar, or simply want to wear your identity with pride during Bihu, our Phulam Gamosa is the perfect choice.

Why Choose an Assamyumm Gamosa?

Unlike mass-produced power-loom imitations that flood the market, our Gamosas are sourced directly from traditional weaving clusters in Assam.

• 100% Authentic Handloom: You can feel the difference in the texture. Our Gamosas are woven on traditional wooden looms, ensuring the fabric is soft, durable, and breathable.

• Traditional Motifs: Features the iconic deep red woven embroidery (known as Phul) depicting geometric flowers, nature, and traditional Assamese art forms.

• The GI Tag Promise: The Assamese Gamosa has earned the Geographical Indication (GI) Tag, certifying its unique origin. We stand by the authenticity of our weave.

• Bihuwan: During Rongali Bihu, it is gifted as a token of love to elders and loved ones.
