Sualkuchi town in Assam is located on the banks of the Bramhaputra, about 35 km from the state capital Guwahati. It is known for its silk weaving, a tradition that is said to date back to the 11th century. The Ahomiya kings introduced weaving here by bringing in members of the Tanti community who were traditional weavers. It was royal patronage that established Sualkuchi as a weaving village. Today, weaving here is not restricted to any particular community, and the town has made a name for itself as the source of commercially produced Assamese silk fabrics. The villages in neighboring areas of Guwahati and Bijoynagar feed into Sualkuchi’s silk weaving, with silk yarn being processed and collected in household units. Sualkuchi fabrics are handwoven on wooden frame looms, using both indigenous silks and also other yarns. Handloom fabrics are an intrinsic part of Assamese culture. Each indigenous tribe has its distinct style of weaving, and ceremonial and ritual offerings across the state always use traditional textiles.
