Vrindavani vastra

Vrindavani Vastra is a drape woven by Assamese weavers led by Mathuradas Burha Aata during 16th century under the guidance of Srimanta Sankardeva, a Vaishnavite saint and scholar who lived in present-day Assam.

The piece of cloth demonstrates the skillful weaving methods developed during medieval times and such complexity is rarely seen in present-day Assam.

[5] This type of silken-weaving artwork was produced up to around 1715 in Assam and its neighborhood[6] and exported to places like Tibet.

[1] The exhibit owned by British Museum, acquired in 1904 from Tibet, is nine and half meters long and is made up of several pieces of silk drapes depicting Krishna's (or Vishnu's) life.

[2] Along with colorful pictorial depictions, it has a portion of a poem written by Srimanta Sankardev woven on it.
