Kantha Saree

Discover the mesmerizing world of Kantha Sarees, a centuries-old tradition originating from the rural regions of the Bengali sub-continent. Rooted in the thrift and resourcefulness of rural women, Kantha Sarees are an exquisite display of patchwork cloth and intricate embroidery. Let's delve into the rich history and diverse styles of this enchanting art form.

History and Evolution:

Kantha finds its roots in the ingenuity of Bengali housewives who creatively mended old clothes by repurposing colorful borders from saris. Through simple designs and a running stitch along the edges, they transformed discarded fabrics into stunning works of art. Over time, this traditional craft evolved into various forms, becoming an integral part of the cultural heritage of eastern India and Bangladesh.

The Art of Kantha Embroidery:

Kantha embroidery is characterized by its delicate running stitch, typically executed on soft dhotis and saris. This stitch gives rise to seven distinctive types of Kantha, each with its unique appeal and significance. From the vibrant Lep Kantha to the intricate Sujani Kantha, every style holds a tale of craftsmanship and artistry passed down through generations.
