What is Zari Indian Embroidery?

Hi this is Ruchi on behalf of Expert Village. Now we're starting with the Organza piece. This is the Zari embroidery we are showing. Zari embroidery is really famous in Indian tradition. It is one of the famous Indian embroideries, Zari work. And this floral Motif we're continuing here. We're making the same floral Motif out here. This is the Organza piece and this we have made with a copper Zari. Now he's starting with a silver Zari. This is the wooden frame. We are placing the fabric in this frame. Just tighten up the fabric so that we can do the embroidery. And we fix these frames, these two sticks into the horizontal ones. And then with the help of this thread and the needle we fix these into these ropes. Then we fix the fabric into this. And then we start with the embroidery. Now he's starting with the process. We have made this Motif on a plastic sheet which we normally do for any Motif. And then we pin it up with the help of a needle. And now we're going to trace the same Motif as shown here. He'll trace it with the help of a Zinc powder. And place the powder with the cotton. And the powder will pass through the pores of this onto the fabric. And then we can start with the embroidery.
