Prominent Assamese actress Aimee Baruah graced the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival wearing a muga silk mekhela sador, adorned with the ancient Assamese designs Goj Bota and Gum Kharu. The exquisite outfit was crafted by designer Momita Sharma.
The Goj Bota design, an ancient pattern from Assam, features intricate floral and geometric shapes that date back to the Ahom Dynasty, a time when muga silk was a luxury – and it remains so today. This design symbolises the rich cultural and natural beauty of Assam. Conversely, the Gum Kharu motif is a traditional symbol of prosperity and protection deeply rooted in Assamese culture.
