Assamese Traditional Rumaal

The Assamese “Rumaal” is a traditional cloth used in Assam, often serving similar purposes to the gamusa. Typically, it is a square or rectangular piece of cloth that can be white or adorned with intricate patterns and borders.

While the gamusa is generally used for various practical purposes and cultural ceremonies, the rumaal often functions as a ceremonial or decorative item. It can be used in religious rituals, festivals, or as a token of respect. Like the gamusa, it holds cultural significance and reflects the artistic and traditional heritage of Assam.
