The 'gamosa', a handwoven rectangular cotton piece of cloth with red borders and different designs and motifs, is traditionally offered to elders and guests as a mark of respect and honour by Assamese people. 'Gamosa', a symbol of the culture and identity of Assam, received the GI tag from the central government in December 2022, five years after the first application was made.Ī GI is tagged to primarily agricultural, natural or manufactured products, handicrafts and industrial goods originating from a definite geographical territory. Himanta received the Geographical Indication registration certificate for 'gamosa' from Controller General of Patent, Designs and Trademarks and Registrar of GI Registry Unnat P Pandit. The Guinness certificates will be handed over in his presence, the official said.
