Nakshi Katha are hand embroidered quilts, bedspreads, wall hangings and pillow shams made by artists in rural area of the Royal Bengal Tiger. Nakshi Katha is folk art that has been passed down through generations of Bengali familites. The most famous folk craft term is "Nakshi Katha", in which Bengali women made quilts from saris, folding them into layers and using itinerant running stitches with threads picked from the sari borders. It is warm as a wrap and soft for babies too. Rural women gave free rein to their imagination in colorful designs or flowers they saw, the pond they went to bath in or the conch shell they blew in the evening. From an ordinary stitch it morphed into the beautiful Nakshi Katha, a connoisseur's delight.

If ever there was a true sorority in the world of idea, it must have been in the field of quilt making women all over the world took up the responsibility of providing everybody with warmth against the cold harsh winter. Bengal Katha making is a little different from other quilting artistry. The material is different, so is the stitching method. From a very long time, Bengal cotton and silk have been known in the world market for its finesse and quality. Bengal "muslin" was an item of export even at Percale's time.

The current popularity of Katha across the country and now abroad too, as a fashion Statement has a very humble beginning, like many Bengali crafts. The popularity of Katha has meant economic independence and empowerment to hundreds of poor Bengali women. At the 1990 Edinburgh Folk Festival for the Commonwealth Countries, Nakshi Katha drew attention by winning a prestigious prize. Among the priceless art collections of Queen Elizabeth-II, ex-President Bush, Pope Johannes Paulus and Robert MacNamara is a beautiful Nakshi Katha.

If you need that perfect wedding gift or just want someone special to remember you everyday, then think of the Nakshi Katha. The authentic hand embroidered design makes it the perfect heirloom gift. Given to a precious new born the exquisite quality will last for generations. If no one has given you one yet, then give one to yourself! They are so astoundingly beautiful you might forget that it is actually a cozy blanket!
