GUWAHATI, India, April 3 (Xinhua) -- Gamosa, generally a white rectangular piece of cloth with primarily a red border on three sides and red woven motifs on the fourth, symbolizes the indigenous life and culture of India's Assam. The dense ropes and lines are interwoven in the sewing machine, and knitted into beautiful textile crafts by women's flexible hands.
