Kasuti Embroidery of Karnataka

Kasuti work involves embroidering very intricate patterns like gopura, chariot, palanquin, lamps . Locally available materials are used for Kasuti. The pattern to be embroidered is first marked with charcoal or pencil and then proper needles and thread are selected. The work is laborious and involves counting of each thread on the cloth. The patterns are stitched without using knots to ensure that both sides of the cloth look alike.[
