Accompanying this design is the ancient Persian craft of Zardosi embroidery. Considered one of the most lavish styles of embroidery, this regal art made its way to India during the Mughal Era (16th Century).
A highly skilled technique painstakingly crafted by hand using an adda bichana (wooden frame), incorporating fine metallic embellishments, thin needle points, hand drawn patterns and wires, beads, curved hooks, and threads…all interwoven to create timeless, individually unique embroidery designs.
This type of embroidery work can take one days or months to complete, based on the intricacy.
