It’s a proud moment for India as Majuli in Assam has received the prestigious Geographical Indication (GI) tag, acknowledging its traditional arts of Mukha Xilpo (mask-making) and Manuscript Paintings.
The GI tag, bestowed by the Centre, recognises the deep cultural heritage and historical significance inherent in these traditional folk crafts. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma expressed joy at this significant milestone, emphasising on a micro-blogging platform how this recognition will protect the rich artistic legacy of the state’s artisans.
