Zardozi, Chikan,Kantha, Bagh, Kasuti, to name a few, are some of the more popular forms of handcrafted embroidery used to adorn sarees. Zardozi is metal embroidery done on various fabrics using gold or silver colour coated copper wire along with a silk thread. Popular since Mughal times , zari thread is employed for zardozi. Real Zari has thread made from gold or silver. Imitation zari uses gold or silver coated copper wire. Today mostly zari is made from metallic polyester film where a polyester core is covered by gold or silver coloured metallic yarn. Chikankari or chikan work is intricate embroidery on fabrics. An art form since the Mughal period, the design or pattern print is transferred to the cloth, the embroidery done on it and the print washed away later leaving only the embroidery behind. Once done using only white thread on plain white fabrics, today it uses coloured threads too based on market demand. Lucknavi chikankari is the most unique and famous of chikan work from among that of the several places in India where this art form is practised.


Kantha Work, is essentially embroidery work done on sarees, with a running stitch on them in the form of motifs. These motifs could be animals, birds, flowers, simple geometrical shapes and scenes from everyday life. It gives the saree a wrinkled and wavy look and transforms a plain saree into an extraordinary creation. Though the running stitch is mostly used for its ease, other forms of stitch such as darning stitch, satin stitch and loop stitch are also used. Based on the use of the fabric, Kantha is divided into seven different types. Lep kantha and Sujani kantha are the popular types. Bagh is a special kind of embroidery practised by women in Punjab. Heavy and exquisite embroidery on sarees especially the lehenga type, where the base fabric is hardly visible, it is mostly done for special sarees for occasions like festivals and weddings.

Kasuti is a traditional form of embroidery practised on cotton fabrics mostly by the Lambani women in Karnataka, India, more so in its Dharwad district. It is a unique art from historical times supposed to be a necessary craft to be learnt by women courtiers in the Royal State of Mysore in the 17th century.Kasuti embroidery has to do with working on intricate patterns like temple domes, chariots, palanquins, conch shells and such difficult themes which have a lot of detailing. This delicate embroidery is painstaking since there are a large number of stitches to be put, with different needles and proper thread to be selected. Also knots are not put anywhere for the fabric design to appear the same on both sides. The beauty of this art lies in the design or the motif pattern not being drawn, sketched or traced anywhere on the fabric in the entire process and the embroidery being done purely by memory, by the counting of threads to ensure a neat finish. There are four popular stitches in Kasuti, namely Ghanti, Murgi, Neyge and Menthi, representing double running stitch, zig zag stitch, the running stitch and cross stitch. The Karnataka Handicrafts Development Corporation (KHDC) holds a Geographical Indications (GI) protection for Kasuti embroidery which provides Intellectual Property rights on Kasuti to KHDC. Kasuti is nowadays adorning the famous Mysore Silk Sarees.
