What is Nakshi Kantha?

Nakshi Kantha is a type of embroidered quilt which traces its origins from Bangladesh and some parts of West Bengal. The basic material used in Nakshi Kantha is thread and old cloth. The name “Nakshi Kantha” is derived from the Bengali word "naksha," which refers to artistic patterns. It came into being due to the colourful patterns and designs that are embroidered on the cloth. Nakshi kantha dupattas and sarees are very popular among women in India and even abroad.
