This deep connection is naturally reflected in their textile art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe embroidery work employed here is the Dhebariya Rabari Katab work (a form of applique traditionally done by the Rabari women of Kutch) features bold shapes. Rabari embroidery is a vibrant, intricate textile craft traditionally practiced by the nomadic and semi-nomadic Rabari pastoralists of the Kutch region in Gujarat and parts of Rajasthan. It is defined by bold geometric motifs, dense elongated chain stitches (cheereli saankdi), and the abundant use of mirrors (aabhlas). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the centre, two separate vertical loops rise and curve outward at the top. Between them, a central triangular form stands as the body or hump of the camel. Flanking the two big loops are large radiating fan shapes at the upper left and right, worked in alternating olive, orange, and grey petal-shapes filled with small bakhiya running-stitch accents and stitched diamonds standing in for feather-eye patterning. Along the base, bands of thadiya herringbone stitch in ochre and white sit beside a tighter popati zigzag edge, giving the lower border a distinct rhythm against the radiating field above.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorked on a heavy indigo-blue cotton background, the piece exemplifies the tradition's reliance on bold, contrasting colour, madder-toned golds and browns set firmly against dark cloth, to keep the dense, symbolic stitchwork legible at a distance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gitaben Bhavesh Rabari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49283409641686,"sku":null,"price":1800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Camel_in_Rabari_Embroidery_by_Gitaben_Bhavesh_Rabari.jpg?v=1784269439","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/camel-in-rabari-embroidery-by-gitaben-bhavesh-rabari","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
