Nakshi Kantha of Assam

Embroideries have always been considered as a highly personalised form of expression influenced by culture, traditions and the local surroundings. Moreover, the tradition of patching and quilting textiles in the Indian subcontinent has a long history.

The Kantha stitch and the subsequent profession of embroidery became a common income generating option which could be pursued from home by women across several parts of the country.
