About the Artwork +

Gudiya Devi, in her Sujani Art artfully adorns the Varmala scene with colorful stitches using cotton and silk threads, on a fabric named khadi. The Varmala ceremony is a central ritual in Indian weddings, particularly in the Hindu tradition. It involves the exchange of garlands between the bride and groom, symbolizing their acceptance of each other as life partners. In Sujani art, depicting this scene signifies the union of two souls and the beginning of their marital journey. Sujani art is a reflection of the cultural heritage and traditions of Bihar and the surrounding areas. By including the Varmala scene, artisans pay homage to the region's rich cultural tapestry and preserve these customs for future generations. The Varmala scene provides an opportunity for intricate and colorful embroidery work, adding aesthetic value to the artwork.

Sujani

Sujini craft (sujani) is a traditional art form of embroidery and quilt-making from the eastern Indian state of Bihar, particularly, the rural regions of Bhusra and Bhagalpur. Usually, Sujini quilts were made by women using recycled fabrics to create functional yet artistic pieces, often as gifts for new mothers and their infants. Over time, Sujini evolved from a utilitarian craft into a celebrated art form, with motifs and themes that reflect the local culture, myths, and social issues. Legend The craft of Sujini is deeply rooted in the regional belief that stitching the pieces of old clothes together evokes the presence of a local deity, Chitiriya Ma (the goddess of the tatters). It symbolizes the idea that all the torn-out pieces once belonged to the whole and must return to it. Technique and Craftsmanship Traditionally, Sujini artisans use old saris, dhotis, or other recycled fabrics based on their resourcefulness as the base material for the quilt. Artisans layer and fix them using running stitches. Later the combined piece is decorated with intricate embroidery using colourful threads. The embroidered motifs comprise scenes from Ramayana, Mahabharat, everyday life, and symbols of fertility and prosperity such as sun or cloud. Traditionally, women would gather to create Sujini quilts, engaging in communal storytelling and bonding over shared experiences. Sujini quilts are known for their narrative quality. This collective practice made Sujini a crucial aspect of the community's social fabric, reinforcing cultural heritage while providing a creative outlet for women.
