Sualkuchi Silk Village

Sualkuchi, located about 35 km from Guwahati, is known as the 'Manchester of the East'. It is the weaving hub of Assam, famous for its Golden Muga Silk (found only in Assam), White Paat Silk, and Warm Eri Silk.

Almost every household here has a loom. Walking through the village, you can hear the rhythmic click-clack of the fly shuttles. You can visit the workshops to see the intricate process of weaving traditional Mekhela Chadors and sarees.

Buying silk directly from the weavers ensures authenticity and supports the artisans. The designs often feature motifs of local flora and fauna.

It is a vibrant display of Assamese craftsmanship.
