The identity behind the name
A tradition, rooted in origin.
Meet a silk tradition with a distinct Assamese identity. Its registry record connects the Muga name with Assam and provides the source for checking the registered scope.
The official application records this name under handicrafts, with Patent Information Center, Assam Science Technology and Environment Council named as applicant. The linked register includes the geographical area and supporting documents to help you explore the registered scope.
Use that context to ask better questions about the particular textile you are considering. A similar name, appearance or business address alone does not establish its provenance.
