About Zardozi Embroidery

Zardozi embroidery is a centuries-old tradition in India, known for its intricate designs, shimmering metallic threads, and exquisite craftsmanship. The literal translation of the term hails from two Persian words: ‘zar’ means gold and ‘dozi’ means embroidery, thereby translating into gold embroidery. Rooted in history and steeped in tradition, this art form encompasses all the motifs in nature from flowers, leaves, and trees to animals and birds. Modern Zardozi work incorporates contemporary designs and is used in a variety of applications, including bridal wear, evening gowns, accessories, and home decor items.

History and Tradition

 Zardozi is a style of embroidery that came to India from central Asia around the 12th century. It flourished under the patronage of Mughal emperors and Indian royalty and over time, became synonymous with opulence and luxury, adorning the garments, textiles, and accessories of kings, nobles, and aristocrats.

Technique and Details

  Zardozi embroidery is characterized by the use of metallic threads, typically made of gold or silver, embellished with sequins, beads, and precious stones. Heavy fabrics like velvet, silk, and satin serve as the base for Zardozi work. The intricate designs are meticulously handcrafted using a variety of stitches, including satin stitch, chain stitch, and couching, to create elaborate patterns and motifs. While a simple needle can also be used, zari zardozi embroidery generally uses a hook-tipped awl, locally called 'ari', which makes for greater efficiency, as it enables the artisans to work on both sides of the fabric.
