Textile Designs of the Boros of Northeast India
Synopsis
This book ties to unfold the rich cultural heritage of the Boro-Kachari Tribe of Northeast India. All the tribal communities of Northeast India are very colourful and vibrant with their unique lifestyle. Textile garments of all the tribal communities of this region represent some specially of their own. The Boro kacharis also wear specially designed textile materials with varied colours. Their women are expert weavers and prepare all the necessary dress materials in handlooms till today. Their dresses have been beautifully designed by themselves with traditional and modern motifs. Rearing and spinning of silk are the most ancient tradition of the Boro women. Boro women use hand made unstitched dress covering the whole body from shoulder to foot (ankle) which display beautiful motifs allover the body. This book has given a vivid picture of the Boro culture with special reference to their famous perennial designs of textile. It is a matter of pride for Boro women to make their own cloth in their traditional handloom and key's fly shuttle even at this age of machine made goods.
