Aari Embroidery
Aari work embroidery is a traditional Indian embroidery technique that involves the use of a hooked needle, called an "aari", to create intricate designs on fabric. The needle is used to create a chain stitch, which is then looped and knotted to form complex patterns. Aari work embroidery is commonly used on sarees, bridal wear, and other traditional Indian garments. This technique is labor-intensive and requires a high degree of skill, as the embroiderer must work with great precision to create the desired design. Aari work embroidery is valued for its intricate beauty and is a cherished part of India's rich cultural heritage.
