Traditional Rajasthani Crafts

At Sunder Rang we will work with the following traditional craft techniques. The project has started with the textile section; embroidery, tailoring and sewing. We will in the future expand our project with the other crafts.

Sewing and Embroidery

The colour and vibrancy of Rajasthan extends into its embroidery as well. A wealth of stitchery, motif and design can be found in the Rajasthani textile crafts.. Women in the villages embroider their family’s garments as well as the cloths of the household cattle - the camel, the bullock and the horse are often decorated with beautifully embroidered cloths. The motifs range from floral patterns, to human and animal figures and abstract designs, there is no limit to the inovative range of patterns. The thread used varies from the finest silk and shining gold coloured thread to the thickest wool.
