Nakshi Kantha

Nakshi Kantha, a traditional embroidery craft originating in Bangladesh, is a true testament to the country's rich cultural heritage. The artistry of Nakshi Kantha lies in its intricate patterns and motifs, meticulously stitched by skilled artisans onto layers of old saris and dhotis, transforming them into stunning works of art. Each Kantha tells a story, reflecting the maker's creativity, emotions, and the essence of everyday life. Originally crafted for practical purposes like quilts and wraps, Nakshi Kantha has evolved into a symbol of tradition and craftsmanship, cherished for its beauty and cultural significance. Aarong, deeply rooted in Bangladesh's cultural heritage, plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting Nakshi Kantha through collaborations with local artisans, bringing this tradition to a wider audience domestically and internationally. Crafted by skilled artisans across various districts such as Jessore, Rajshahi, Tangail, Faridpur, Kushtia, and Dhaka, Nakshi Kantha continues to foster pride among Bangladeshis, transcending generations and bridging the past with the present
