India is a nation with vast and ancient traditions. The country blossoms with colourful traditional dresses that various communities and tribes of different states wear. The present study was an attempt to study the traditional textile motifs and designs of Mishing community. The study aimed to document the colour combinations, form of designs, different techniques used to form the designs and the traditional names of the motifs and designs. Data were gathered through personal visit to the common weavers and photographs were taken to support the study. This type of study will not only help in the preservation of the traditional motifs and designs but also broaden the design base for the textiles products.Keywords

The antibacterial materials such as fabrics, clothes are becoming important to avoid cross infection by pathogenic micro-organisms, especially bacteria such as Aureimonas altamirensis, Bacillus clausii and Micrococcus yunnanensis, to control the infestation by microbes, and to arrest metabolism in microbes in order to reduce the formation of odour. Textiles for medical and hygienic use have become important areas in the textile industry. Therefore, to reduce/prevent infections, various antibacterial compounds have been used for all types of textiles. The solutions of disinfectant used are generally active in vitro, but, it is also necessary to know the effectiveness of disinfecting cloths in conditions of use. In the current study, it was aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of fabrics functionalized with herbal extracts against Aureimonas altamirensis, Bacillus clausii and Micrococcus yunnanensis, and also after different wash cycles against these bacteria. The results of the present study showed that the most susceptible bacterium was B. clausii in all standard test methods for unwashed fabrics, antibacterial activity was continued even after washing cycles.Keywords
