About Tapasya {Embroidered Saree's & Printed Silk Sarees} in Nataji Metro Station,Tollygunge · Kolkata, India, Kolkata
Kantha is a type of embroidery popular in eastern South Asia, especially Bangladesh and the Indian states of West Bengal and Odisha. The use of kantha is popular in "Kantha saris" traditionally worn by women in Bengal.Kantha stitching is also used to make simple quilts, commonly known as Nakshi Kantha. Kantha is very popular with tourists visiting Bengal and is a specialty of Bolpur
Kantha is still the most popular form of embroidery practised by rural women. The embroidered cloth has many uses including women's shawls and covers for mirrors, boxes, and pillows. In the best examples, the entire cloth is covered with running stitches, employing beautiful motifs of flowers, animals birds and geometrical shapes, as well as themes from everyday activities. The stitching on the cloth gives it a slight wrinkled, wavy effect. Contemporary Kantha is applied to a wider range of garments such as sarees, dupatta, shirts for men and women, bedding and other furnishing fabrics, mostly using cotton and silk.Depending on the use of the finished product they were known as Lepkantha, Sujni Kantha. However, the variety and techniques of run stitches that were used to outline and fill in the motifs imparted the kantha its exclusivity and thereon the kantha stitch became a fine art.
In the world of kantha ,Threads can talk and create their own stories. They can weave their way through centuries and be reborn in various avatars. Such has been the evolution of the kantha stitch - the fine art of embroidery from Bengal initially done on quilts - which has taken the contemporary fashion and furnishing sectors by storm with buyers in the US, Britain and Japan.
"It is not kantha without the intricate fine stitching work," The kantha stitch, which was earlier restricted to folk and village motifs on quilts and wrappers, has spread its horizons.
