গামছা - Meaning in English
noun
Description
গামছা একটি পাতলা, অমসৃণ সূতির তোয়ালে যা ভারতের পূর্বাঞ্চল এবং বাংলাদেশের বহুল ব্যবহৃত পোশাক সামগ্রী। স্নানের পর শরীর বা গা মুছতে এটি ব্যবহৃত হয়। গামছা শব্দটি এসেছে বাংলা গা মোছা শব্দ থেকে। অধিকাংশ গামছাতেই চেকের ব্যবহার দেখা যায়। গামছা সাধারণত লাল, কমলা, সবুজ ইত্যাদি রঙের হয়। সেলাই করা বা ছাপা পাড়ের শুধু সাদা গামছা উড়িষ্যাতে রুমাল হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হয় এবং কখনো গলায় জড়িয়ে রাখা হয়। ভারতীয় উপমহাদেশে তোয়ালের তুলনায় গামছা জনপ্রিয় কেননা এটি ইউরোপীয় ঘরানার তোয়ালের মত মোটা নয়, পাতলা যা এই উপমহাদেশের আর্দ্র আবহাওয়ার সাথে মানানসই।
Gamcha, also known as Gamchha, Gamucha, Gamusa and Angochha, is a rectangular piece of traditional coarse cotton cloth, sometimes with a checked design, worn as traditional scarf by men in the Indian subcontinent, mainly in Eastern India, Bangladesh, as well as in eastern Terai of Nepal. It also became bit popular in other cultures of India and now in what is known as Pakistan after the Indian partition, as well as various parts of South and Southeast Asia. The word "Gamcha" is Bengali/Assamese word which comes from two very simple and commonly used Bengali/Assamese words, (গা) ga which means "Body", and (মুছা) mucha which means "wipe". Literally translated, it means 'something to wipe the body with' however, interpreting the word gamcha as the towel is misleading. It is often worn on one side of the shoulder. Its appearance varies from region to region, and it has been traditionally worn as a scarf by the Odia men and Bengali men. Gamcha is also a headwear for Bengali men in Bangladesh. Gamucha was also mentioned in Odia Mahabharata by Sarala Dasa as part of the traditional dress of Odia men. Weavers of traditional tantubaya or jugi community migrated from Bangladesh to Tripura and weavers of Odisha produce good quality gamucha.
