The
name Kasuti is derived from the words Kai (meaning hand)
and Suti (meaning cotton), indicating an activity that is done using
cotton and hands. Dating back to the chalukya period, it is an intricate art
form that was practised by women courtiers.Kasuti
work involves embroidering intricate patterns like chariot, lamps and conch shells
on the fabrics. The work is laborious and involves counting of each thread on
the cloth. The patterns are stitched without using knots to ensure that both
sides of the cloth look alike.Locally
available materials are used for Kasuti. The item that is to be decorated is
first marked with charcoal, pencil or carbon paper and then suitable colored
thread and needles are selected. The patterns are stitched with different
varieties of stitches to obtain the desired pattern.A
recent trend introduced is the use of netted cloth to make the job easy, especially
for less-skilled women to do the embroidery. Women require a month to lay
Kasuti on a sari.
