Embroidery is a popular craft in India that instantly uplifts any design. Artisans specializing in this craft are fast losing out to the machine-made sector, yet they still hold on to their skill passed down generations. This frequently used surface ornamentation craft employs creative needlework producing stunning patterns and motifs.
 
Archaeological findings like needles and embroidered fabrics dating back to 2000 BC, confirm the existence of needlework in India. Due to Emperor Akbar's keen interest in the aesthetics of textiles, this technique grew to remarkable heights under his rule during the 16th century. This art form is finding its strength and newfound patronage in the sustainable moment we are all witnessing and part of.
