Composition and Characteristics
Assamese culture in its true sense today is a 'cultural system' composed of different sub-systems. It is more interesting to note that even many of the source-cultures of Assamese culture are still surviving either as sub-systems or as sister entities. In broader sense, therefore, the Assamese cultural system incorporates its source-cultures and However, it is also important to keep the broader system closer to its roots.
Some of the common cultural traits available across these systems are:
- Respect towards areca-nut and betel leaves
- Respect towards particular symbolic cloth types such as Gamosa, Arnai, etc
- Respect towards traditional silk and cotton garments
- Respect towards forefathers and elderly
- Great hospitality
- Bamboo culture

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
