Aari Bharat Embroidery

Also known as Mochi Bharat, Aari Bharat Embroidery is made by the Muslim cobbler community in India. The designs used in this art are of Mughal origin. It is done with the help of an 'aar' holed needle, where the thread is introduced from below. In this style of embroidery, the zari thread or the metallic thread are used. Colored thread is applied to make the motifs and figures highly representational.

Now, this embroidery has become extinct. The samples of this art are preserved in the Aina Mahal, Kutch Museum and Bharatiya Sanskruti Darshan in Bhuj.
