Nakshi kantha

Nakshi kantha, a type of embroidered quilt, is a centuries-old Bengali art tradition in Bangladesh.〔(Nakshi Kantha-Benhal Craft ) accessed on: 10 November 2008〕〔(Quilt (kantha) Art of Bengal ) accessed on:10 November 2008.〕 The basic material used is thread and old cloth.〔R. Ghuznabi Sayyada; ''NAKSHA A Collection of Designs of Bangladesh'' (October 1981) page-23; Design Centre: Bangladesh Small & Cottage Industries Corporation〕 Kanthas are made throughout Bangladesh, but the greater Mymensingh, Rajshahi, Faridpur and Jessore areas are most famous for this craft.〔Sirajuddin, Muhammad; Living Crafts in Bangladesh; (January 1992), page-44; Markup International, Dhaka, Bangladesh.〕
The colourful patterns and designs that are embroidered resulted in the name "Nakshi Kantha", which was derived from the Bengali word "naksha", which refers to artistic patterns.〔(www.brac-aarong.com ) accessed on: 9 December 2008〕 The early kanthas had a white background accented with red, blue and black embroidery; later yellow, green, pink and other colours were also included. The running stitch called "kantha stitch" is the main stitch used for the purpose.〔R Ghuznabi Sayyada; "NAKSHA A Collection of Designs of Bangladesh" (October 1981), page-23,24; Design Centre: Bangladesh Small & Cottage Industries Corporation.〕 Traditionally, kantha was produced for the use of the family. Today, after the revival of the nakshi kantha, they are produced commercially.
== Etymology ==
The word ''kantha'' has no discernible etymological root.〔Ahmad, Perveen; ''The Aesthetics & Vocabulary of NAKSHI KANTHA'' (1997); Bangladesh National Museum ISBN 984-585-000-6〕 The exact time of origin of the word kantha is not accurately known but it probably had a precursor in ''kheta'' (khet Bengali means "field").〔(Lecture by Perveen Ahmad at IGNCA on 'Aesthetics and Vocabolary of Nakshi Kantha' )〕 According to Niaz Zaman, the word ''kantha'' originated from the Sanskrit word ''kontha'', which means rags, as kantha is made of rags.〔Zaman, Niaz; ''The Art of KANTHA Embroidery'' (Second Revised Edition-1993), page-36, The University Press Limited, Dhaka, Bangladesh; ISBN 984-05-1228-5〕
