More about art & artisans
Lambani hand embroidery is a form of surface ornamentation technique practiced by women artisans of nomadic tribal group which migrated from Central Asia and Afganistan to Rajasthan then to other parts of India, specially to Karnataka. This tribal community is also known as Lambada/ Banjara.
The threads traditionally used were made up of wool, cotton, silk, gold or silver. There are 14 types of stitches used in Lambani embroidery apart from patchwork and applique work. Lambani embroidery is often decorated with mirror, shells, coins, beads etc. Signature patterns like geometrical shapes, grid like patterns, horizontal patterns were embroidered on naturally dyed khadi fabrics. Now, contemporary variations are done in terms of shapes on variety of fabrics, either naturally or chemically dyed handloom or power loom fabrics.
