Kantha – exquisitely embroidered
Kantha embroidery is a type of embroidery typical
of Bengal . In olden days old saris were stacked on each other and
hand-stitched to make a relatively thin and comfortable piece of cushion.To
make the piece of cushion more attractive, women stitched various figures and motifs
with simple straight stitches. The motifs on the Kantha drew inspiration from
the day-to-day village life and nature (e.g. peacock, parrot, tiger and
flowers). The elaborate use of threads of multiple colors made the end-product
extremely colorful, attractive and beautiful.
With changing time, the ‘Kantha’ is not in use so
much. However, the embroidery known as Kantha stitch survived and flourished.
