Beautiful Assamese Women

Assamese women use riha-mekhela-Sadar. The long, flowing skirt up to the ankles is known as mekhela, and the upper garment riha. Assamese women, irrespective of their differences in tribes and clans, wear variations of this dress. Along with the Chadar, an upper wrap called Riha is used by the Bodo tribal women. Muga Silk, the high-quality textile of Assam, serves as the material base.
