Guwahati lab authenticates Assam’s silk sarees

Guwahati lab authenticates Assam’s silk sarees

In Guwahati, there's a special lab that checks if silk sarees are real or fake.

This is important because some people sell fake silk that looks like the real thing, especially the expensive Muga silk from Assam.

The lab does three types of tests to make sure the silk is genuine.

If it passes, they give a certificate.

This helps people who spend a lot of money on these beautiful sarees to make sure they're getting the real thing.

The lab also helps weavers by making sure they use good materials and supports the local silk industry.
