Kantha Embroidery

GI Tagged - Yes | Nakshi Kantha from West Bengal, India

Kantha is a traditional folk embroidery originating from West Bengal in India and Bangladesh. It is also practised in the neighbouring states of Odisha and Bihar in India. Unlike many other prevalent craft forms that were commissioned by royalty or wealthy landlords, Kantha emerged from the creativity and resourcefulness of rural women, purely driven by a utilitarian perspective. The word 'kantha' is believed to be derived from the Sanskrit word 'kontha,' meaning rags. This reflects how rural Bengali women repurposed old fabrics into new, functional pieces by stitching them with decorative patterns,often for household use, as wedding gifts for their daughters, or as presents to mark the birth of a child. Interestingly, some Kantha pieces can take months or even a year to complete, while a few others are passed down through generations, with grandmothers, mothers, and daughters all contributing to the same fabric. This tradition ingrains cherished family memories, contemporary styles, and motifs from each generation into those delicate Kantha stitches, creating a timeless heirloom. Many of these exquisite Kantha works are collected by folk craft and textile curators and preserved as cultural heritage from West Bengal and Bangladesh in various museums both in India and abroad, such as the National Crafts Museum in New Delhi, the Calico Museum of Textiles in Ahmedabad, the Ashutosh Museum in Kolkata, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the USA, among others.

Originally, kantha was created as a quilted textile by stitching together multiple layers of worn-out fabrics like old sarees and dhotis—using threads pulled from the sarees' borders itself—to produce everyday domestic items such as lightweight quilts (known as lep in Bengali and sujani in Bihar), bedspreads, throws, floor mats, rumals, and soft wraps for newborns. Today, Kantha has evolved into a commercial industry, with artisans using fresh fabrics sourced from factories, along with production remnants, print overruns, and misprints, while threads are procured from local thread stores.

The core element and signature of Kantha embroidery is the straight running stitch, which is essential for defining outlines and adding details to the decorative patterns. Other stitches used in Kantha include satin stitch, stem stitch, chain stitch, cross stitch, darning stitch, and loop stitch, all of which enhance the embroidery and help create intricate designs. Kantha is also noted for its unique and distinctive puckered and wavy appearance across all its creations. Read more

Wild & Sustainable Silk Fibre

Tussar silk is a durable and slightly coarse-textured fibre compared to other silks, characterised by a rich, natural brownish-golden sheen that imparts to it a rustic appeal and authenticity. While it is challenging to bleach and dye Tussar silk, the use of chemical dyes has significantly broadened its color range. Esteemed as a valuable wild silk variety, it is produced by tribal communities in Bihar, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh, with Jharkhand contributing about 70% of the total production in recent times. India also holds the title of the largest global producer of tropical Tussar silk, with other varieties cultivated in China, Bangladesh, Japan, and Sri Lanka. Read more
