Kathi Work

 

 

The nomadic (Rabari) tribes of Gujarat are known for their Kathi work, a type of embroidery, which combines chain stitch along with appliqué work embellished with small mirrors. As Kathi work is done on fabrics that are dyed in bright colours, the garments and items made out are unique and display the folk flavour of rural Gujarat. The womenfolk practice this craft.
