B. Gamosas
C. Xorais
D. All of these
Explanation:
As the polling date draws closer, decorative jaapis (field hats), hand-woven gamosas and bell-metal xorais are making frequent appearances in Assam. The Jaapi is a conical hat made of bamboo and covered with dried tokou leaves. Today, the bulk of Assam’s jaapis are made by artisans based in a cluster of villages in Nalbari district. The Gamosa, which literally translates to a cloth to wipe one’s body, is omnipresent in Assam, with wide-ranging uses. It can be used at home as a towel or in public functions to felicitate dignitaries or celebrities. Made of bell-metal, the Xorai, essentially a tray with a stand at the bottom, with or without a cover can be found in every Assamese household.
