Скачать или смотреть Muga silk found only in Assam - Pride of Assam মুগা

I am showing a short film on Muga, (মুগা) Pride of Assam which is a magic silk of Assam, gold of Assam, rarest silk in the world, available only in Assam and nowhere else in the world & how Muga golden silk of Assam is prepared from the fiber of the silkworm (Antherea assamensis), which is native to Assam and feeds on som (Machilus bombycina) and sualu (Litsaea polyantha) leaves. It sounds unbelievable but 100% true that this golden silk of Assam is not produced anywhere in the world and is as old a habitat as the Dinosaur. Muga Silk of Assam is registered as the Geographical Indication (GI) of Assam under Rules of Intellectual Property Rights of Govt. of India. These silkworms feed on the aromatic leaves of Som and Soalu plants and are reared on trees similar to that of tasar. Durability is beyond life time, which is a known fact & I’m showing 2 muga clothes, which are more than 60 years old & 25 years old & is still glazing. As the fabric ages its golden luster increases. Garments made of muga outlasts other fibres & very often the silk outlives its owner. Experiments conducted on the ultra violet filtering properties of muga silk has proved that muga silk fabric absorbs 85.08% of the harmful ultra violet rays in sunlight. An excellent sunshield protection for the skin.
