Kantha Quilt

Kantha quilt is created through a process of layering old sarees, dhotis, and other discarded pieces of cloth. These layers are stacked together, and women embroider intricate designs using colorful threads to secure the layers and create patterns on the surface. Traditionally, Kantha quilts were made by women at home, and each piece was a unique expression of the artisan's creativity and emotions.

The Kantha Bengali quilt, also known simply as Kantha or Nakshi Kantha, is a traditional textile art form that originated in the Bengal region of the Indian subcontinent, which includes present-day Bangladesh and the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura, and Assam. The word "Kantha" is derived from the Sanskrit language, and it means "rags" or "patched cloth."

Revival and Global Recognition:

Kantha quilts are not only cherished in Bengal but are also appreciated and sought after worldwide. They have found their way into the global market, where they are valued not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for the rich history and tradition they represent. Kantha has become a symbol of women's empowerment, creativity, and community bonding, making it a timeless and beloved art form.
