The Cachari tribe represents an indigenous population located in northeastern India and known for its cultural traditions, especially in textiles and weaving techniques. For the Cacharis, traditional textiles act as functional artifacts representing the tribes' weaving art and cultural heritage. The Cachari tribe traditionally made large thick cotton blankets. The blanket, made from thick white cotton, surely affords warmth at the much-desired need in its area, especially winter. On the other hand, this blanket, with woolly cotton on the top surface, provides added insulation and softness, having the touch and looks of wool. Soft and warm, the cotton will get a lot of attention for a blanket on chilly nights.

The textiles exhibit parallel plaited designs across both the ends in blue and red, which is an attractive and dignified embellishment. The blue and red colors are of very strong significance; red means life, might, and strength. Blue on the other hand connotes peace. The designs used for these plaited patterns were first bequeathed by tribe generations through their innate art of weaving. The blanket consists of sewing two pieces together in order to make long lengths, thus contributing to durability and utility. The Cacharis would throw it around their shoulders during the cold nights or use it for being draped during ceremonies, therefore using the blanket as an aesthetic and functional exhibition of the tribal textile artistry.
