Banni Embroidery

Also referred to as 'Heer Bharat', the banni embroidery has its origin in the state of Gujarat. Though the state features a number of other embroidery forms, the Banni embroidery is specifically popular for its minute designs and fascinating mirror work. It is mainly the Kutch region in Gujarat where Banni embroidery is practised by the Lohana community on a large scale.

The delicate weaves on the fabric particularly catches attention while the mirrors used in the buttonhole heighten the effect all the more. The mirrors are studded using the chain stitch pattern on the cloth.
