Dr Sangeeta Dutta speaks on a historical textile of Assam as part of the Destination Northeast program organised by the Anthropology Department, National Museum, New Delhi
Vrindavani vastra is a historical textile piece of Assam, with the depiction of the life of youth Krishna. Though the name indicates its association with the Vrindavan, yet it represents the weaved textile traditions of Assam. The discussion here is to understand the socio-cultural-religious aspects associated with this vastra and how it is considered as a significant heritage element of Assam.
