In Assam, the Mising Tribe is very much extensive in number, basically inhabiting the river valleys of Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Sonitpur, Tinsukia, Dibrugarh, Sivasagar, Jorhat, and Golaghat districts, with a minor section inhabiting Pasighat block of Arunachal Pradesh. The language Mising or Miri is Tibeto-Burman by descent according to the Sino-Tibetan language family, whereas Mishing people share ethnic concern with the Adis, Nyishis, and Apatanis and believe in Donyi-Polo (Mother Sun and Father Moon) in their rituals.

Mising women are all master weavers and imprinted onto their fabrics those beautiful patterns of nature called Gamik. The hills, stars, flowers, and animals like deer and peacock mostly depict in the art.Garik create fabrics like cotton, eri-silk, and wool in bright colors such as black, red, blue, and green.Women drape Ege (mekhela) along with Gero. Mosang Gasor, Pe:Re, and Seleng Gasor are variations of Gero available. Po:Tub is mainly used for head covering. Young girls wear Ku:Pob (dupattas), and a special Para-Rimbey garment is worn during childbirth. Mising attire, full of colours and symbolism, bears testimony to their cultural heritage.

The Mishing tribe's masterpiece consists of the shabby white tangoli that features a woven red border and gorgeous geometric patterned designs. The elegantly fringed edges testify to the great weaving tradition and indigenous traditional craft of the tribe.
