Many of us
don’t know about the Kantha work. People likes to wear different patterns and
designs of clothes. The Kantha work is one of the embroidery used on the
discarded apparel, transforming them into extraordinarily renewed creations
with extended life. A unique traditional art from Murshidabad in former Bengal
state, and now the current west Bengal and Bihar, it has been instrumental in
empowering rural women with a supplemental source of income.
Kantha work
is essentially embroidery work done on old sarees, dhotis and other apparel.
Popular and practiced in Bengal, especially in Bholpur and bihar, it is a
running stitch on the sarees in the form of motifs such as animals, birds,
flowers, simple geometrical shapes and scenes from everyday life.
Kantha originated
from the way in which Bengali women mended their old clothes from a strand of
thread from the colorful border of their saris and made designs with them. Any
work in which Kantha embroidery is done is sometimes referred to as a Kantha. A
craft of skill widely practiced by women in rural Bengal, it knows on
boundaries of class status. Be it a
woman in a small village or a rich landlady, both devote their skills and
talents to use Kantha for their clothing, either out of need or just out of
interest.
The salwar
kameez transforms old clothes into extraordinarily new creations. Other forms
of stitch such as darning stitch, satin stitch and loop stitch are also used.
Kantha stitching is also used in making of quilts,
known as Nakshi Kantha. Woman uses old dress materials and other cloth,
layering them with the Kantha stitch to make small blankets and bedspreads for
children.
In today’s
trend the time is less and economic activity for rural women to supplement the
meager income of their households. Many do a lot of Kantha work for traders in
Kolkata. The price of Kantha embroidered salwar kameez depends on the cost of
the fabric and the patterns used to decorate them. Borders and pallus of the
chunni is especially are well-adorned by exquisite Kantha work.
Kantha gives
a wide range of garments such as sarees, dupattas, shirts, dress materials,
shirts, bedding and a variety of other fabrics in cotton and silk. Old salwar
kameez, dhotis, and saris are transformed by Kantha work to serve as gifts for
beloved ones. Based on the use of the fabric, Kantha is divided into seven
different types.
