Kantha Stitch Embroidery

Kantha stitch is an age-old art form originating in Bengal. Kantha stitch was primarily practised in rural Bengal where stories of the villages and its people were intricately woven on cloth along with floral motifs. This labour-intensive art form is handed down through generations and is now commercially done on textiles.

This is a kantha-stitch embroidered silk saree that is around twenty years old.
