Kantha Embroidery on Tussar Silk: A Touch of Serenity

Born in Bolpur in the Birbhum district in the heart of Bengal, Kantha, meaning 'rags' or 'quilts' in Sanskrit, began as a simple embroidery adorning humble quilts. This art form was fading in the early 19th century until it was revived in the 1940s by the daughter-in-law of Rabindranath Tagore. Today, it proudly graces exquisite sarees and dupattas. The meticulously intricate Kantha stitch embroidery breathes life into the luxurious Tussar silk. Originating from the Indus Valley Civilization, Tussar silk spun from the cocoons of silkworms nurtured on the leaves of Asan and Arjun trees. Hence, the name "Tussar" means "wild" silk. Mentioned in the Mahabharata, Tussar silk, like Kantha itself, carries the weight of history, weaving a tale of tradition and artistry.
