Question

Compare between nakshi kantha and ordinary kantha

Answer 1

Required Answer:

First of all lets learn what is mean by kantha:

• Kantha (also spelled kanta, and qanta) is a type of embroidery craft in the eastern regions of the Indian subcontinent, specifically in Bangladesh and in the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura and Odisha.
• In Odisha, old saris are stacked on each other and hand-stitched to make a thin piece of cushion.

Now lets see about Nakshi Kantha:

• Nakshi kantha, a type of embroidered quilt, is a centuries-old Bengali art tradition of the Bengal region, notable in Bangladesh and Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura and part of Assam.
• The basic material used is thread and old cloth. Nakshi kanthas are made throughout Bangladesh, but the greater Mymensingh, Jamalpur, Bogra, Rajshahi, Faridpur and Jessore areas are most famous for this craft.
