Nakshi Kantha Design Pattern Analysis

Abstract

The title "Nakshi Kantha" comes from the Bengali word "naksha," which means "creative design," and refers to the colorful patterns and motifs that are stitched. It is a centuries-old Bengali art form found in Bangladesh as well as the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura, and Assam. The most basic materials utilized are thread and discarded fabric. Nakshi kanthas are made across Bangladesh, although they are particularly well-known in Mymensingh, Jamalpur, Bogra, Rajshahi, Faridpur, and Jessore. The first kanthas had a white background with red, blue, and black stitching; later kanthas had yellow, green, pink, and other colors. This textile type might be marketed all over the world if modern stitching technique can be used to retain the historic value while providing design variation. The government of Bangladesh is employing a range of marketing tactics. There haven't been many research on how to best market this product around the world. The research looked at the best techniques to manufacture the Nakshi Kantha using modern stitching technology, design diversity, and application of the concept in today's fashion.
