About Zardosi:- The use of metal embroidery in Indian textiles and costumes, especially the ones used for special occasions or ceremonial purposes, demonstrate the importance of gold and silver within the culture.Zari, that means "gold" in Persian, refers to the metallic threads used in weaving.

Embroiderers carefully select from an elaborate assortment of components to create their own unique designs. The wedding vest is heavily adorned with such embroidery.Zardosi is also called Ari and was at its peak in the Mughal era. The art declined for lack of precious metals for the purpose and high costs.

ZARDOSI - A legacy from the MughalsThe Mughal era brought richness to textiles and costumes of India. The Ari work or Zardosi is a kind of hand embroidery believed to be introduced in medieval times during the reign of Muhammed Bin Tughlak. Embroidery done on velvet, satin or any other heavy material came to be known as Zardosi. The work is done by laying the gold threads over the material and is very heavy when the weight of the fabric and the metal wire used for embroidery are combined. Zardosi used to be a work of beauty combined with display of wealth, but today other metals are used instead of gold. The earlier artisans of zardosi used only exclusive resham thread and wire hand embroidery on materials. The designs were original and mainly of royal taste. Wealth was displayed in the garments worn by men and women. But today, we can witness a blend of the past with the present, the old with the modern, the north with the south and the east with the west.
