Abstract
The traditional handloom products of the Rabha community represent an important part of their cultural identity and traditional knowledge system. These products are characterized by distinctive weaving practices, traditional designs, and cultural significance which have been preserved within the community for generations. However, in recent years, the influence of modernization, industrialization, changing lifestyle patterns, and increasing use of machine made products has posed serious challenges to the continuation of traditional weaving practices among the Rabha community. As a result, many traditional garments and weaving techniques are gradually declining and face the risk of disappearance if adequate preservation and protection measures are not adopted.
