Eri Silk is indigenous to Assam and is found nowhere else in the world apart from Assam and in the foothills of Meghalaya. Eri Silk has elevated the rank of Assam to top, in the sericulture map of the world. Among all the uniqueness of Eri Silk, the highlight is that Eri culture is the only culture that does not involve killing of silk moths in the yarn producing process. Therefore Eri is also known as Non-Violent Silk (NVS), owing to this reason.

Known for its durability and lustre, muga silk owns the top position where demand is concerned. The lustre and suppleness of this silk increases with time, unlike any other silk in the world.
