Assam weaver pays tribute to Zubeen Garg by weaving nine of his iconic songs into a traditional gamosa

In a heartfelt tribute to late Assamese music icon Zubeen Garg, a woman weaver from Khowang in Dibrugarh district has handwoven a unique gamosa featuring nine of the singer's most popular songs along with nine of his memorable quotes.

 

Dalimi Lahon Gogoi, a resident of Katakipukhuri Ahom Gaon in Khowang, created the traditional handwoven masterpiece on her loom as a tribute to the legendary singer, whose demise left millions of fans across Assam grieving.

 

Measuring over 25 feet in length, the gamosa took nearly five months to complete. Dalimi began weaving it about a month after Zubeen Garg's passing, dedicating the intricate creation to preserve his musical legacy.

 

The handwoven gamosa features lyrics from nine of Zubeen Garg's iconic songs, including Mayabini, Momor Sakiti Jole, Diya Ghurai Diya, Sapon Rongor Tikha Tumi, Roi Roi Binale and Andha Akash, alongside nine inspirational quotes associated with the singer. The lyrics and messages have been artistically woven into floral motifs across the fabric.

 

Speaking about her creation, Dalimi said the tribute reflects her deep admiration for Zubeen Garg and her desire to keep his legacy alive through Assam's traditional weaving heritage.

 

The unique artwork has drawn appreciation from local residents, who described it as a fitting tribute that beautifully combines Assam's rich handloom tradition with the timeless legacy of one of its greatest cultural icons.
