Sualkuchi is Assam’s most famous weaving city—handlooms in homes, showrooms on lanes, and a strong heritage-shopping atmosphere. Visitors love watching artisans weave Muga (golden silk) and Pat silk, because every step—thread prep, shuttle movement, patterns—shows mastery and patience. It’s ideal for buying authentic mekhela chador and silk products directly from makers.
