Zangfai is the first retail outlet of Assamese Traditional jewellery in Guwahati, Assam. The social enterprise was named as Zangfai by Padmashree Recipient Arun Sarma. The word Zangfai means amber which was used as a glue in the making of ornaments (be it ear, neck) worn by both men and women in ancient times. In the year 2002, Zangfai was born in Guwahati, Assam.
Zangfai is considered by many as not merely a showroom, but an inspiration for celebrating the living tradition of gold jewellery in Assam, India. Its popularity is not only seen in the state but across India and other international states.
Sulakshana Baruah Bhuyan is the core founder of Zangfai. Sulakshana (popularly known as Lakhimi) made her foray in the field of Assamese jewellery around 18 years ago as a beginner to the world of professionalism. Today, her two daughters Annanya Bhuyan (elder) and Akangsha Bhuyan has joined her mother’s hand to carry forward the legacy store to reach new professional heights and let the world know the sustained impact art and culture can create.
