About Art-Kantha
Kantha is a type of embroidery popular in easternSouth Asia, especially Indiaand theIndianstates ofWest BengalandOdisha, Gujrat. In Odisha oldsarisare stacked on each other and hand-stitched to make a thin piece ofcushion. This is normally used above a bed cushion or instead of a cushion.The use of kantha is popular in "Kantha saris" traditionally worn by women inBengal.Kantha stitching is also used to make simple quilts, commonly known asNakshi Kantha. Women in Bengal typically use old saris and cloth and layer them with kantha stitch to make a light blanket, throw or bedspread, especially for children.Kantha is very popular with tourists visiting Bengal and is a specialty of Bolpur, West Bengal, India.
Kantha is originally from Eastern part(Specially West Bengal) of India and Bangladesh but some forms of Kantha is very famous in Badmeri, Rajasthan, Jaipur etc.Kantha is still the most popular form of embroidery practiced by rural women. The traditional form of Kantha embroidery was done with soft dhotis and saris, with a simple running stitch along the edges. Depending on the use of the finished product they were known asLepkanthaorSujni Kantha.
The embroidered cloth has many uses including women's shawls and covers for mirrors, boxes, and pillows. In the best examples, the entire cloth is covered with running stitches, employing beautiful motifs of flowers, animals birds and geometrical shapes, as well as themes from everyday activities. The stitching on the cloth gives it a slight wrinkled, wavy effect. Contemporary Kantha is applied to a wider range of garments such as sarees, dupatta, shirts for men and women, bedding and other furnishing fabrics, mostly using cotton and silk.
The bedspreads and hangings that found so much favour with Western clients were made of fine cotton cloth filled with finely ginned cotton and were embroidered with yellow silk on the entire surface. The Kantha embroidery was done with Tussar, Muga or Eri yarn which was unknown in the West which was cognisant only with fine cultivated silk yarn.
The fascinated buyers were very close to the folk art of Bengal. Along with indigenous, mythological and secular themes are those that show the Portuguese engaged in various activities, including the hunt, with their own countrymen as well as with Indians.
