Preserving Heritage Through Handcrafted Excellence
Celebrating Us; As embroiderers of Zarkala
We, the women embroiderers of the Salarpur region in Uttar Pradesh, India, are renowned for our artisanship and artistry in the embroidery field. With a rich cultural heritage and a deep-rooted tradition of intricate embroidery, we have perfected the art of embellishing fabrics with sequins, zari (metallic threads), and glass beads, creating exquisite and high-quality embroidery.
Embedded within the fabric of our daily lives, embroidery has been passed down through generations in our region. It is a significant part of our cultural identity and a necessary means of self-expression.
Our artistic endeavours provide us with a means of livelihood to empower us, allowing them to showcase their talent and contribute to their community's social and economic development.
