New Delhi (India), May 8 – Auromira Entertainment has launched a pioneering music video in collaboration with NHDC (National Handloom Development Corporation Ltd.), showcasing the intricate art of Eri Silk weaving in Meghalaya. Directed by Dev Meher and Rajkishore Mohapatra, this visual masterpiece takes viewers on a captivating journey through the traditional craft of Eri Silk weaving, shedding light on the skill, beauty, and cultural importance of this ancient craft.
The Beauty of Eri Silk: Meghalaya’s Precious Treasure
Eri Silk, also known as Ryndia, is one of Meghalaya’s most prized treasures. This shimmering fabric is derived from the cocoons of domesticated silkworms, and it is famously referred to as Ahimsa Silk or the “fabric of peace.” What sets Eri Silk apart from other varieties like Tassar and Muga is that its production does not involve the killing of silkworms, making it a cruelty-free and environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional silk.
Not only does Eri Silk combine the luxurious feel of silk with the comfort of cotton, but it also holds a deep cultural and historical significance. The art of weaving this unique fabric has been passed down through generations, and the music video beautifully celebrates the importance of preserving these time-honoured techniques.

The process of Eri Silk weaving requires exceptional skill and craftsmanship, and we aimed to showcase the dedication of local artisans who continue to keep this tradition alive. It’s a proud moment for us to share this tribute with the world.”
Filmed in the breathtaking landscapes of Meghalaya, the video captures not only the art of weaving but also the stunning natural beauty of the region. From the delicate process of Eri Silk weaving to the vibrant surroundings, the video brings to life the rich cultural tapestry of Meghalaya.
Promoting Tradition and Cultural Heritage

It serves as both an educational tool and a celebration of the craftsmanship that defines Meghalaya’s rich heritage.
