Nakshi Kantha is a kind of embroidered quilt. The name was taken
from the Bengali word, ‘naksha’ which means artistic pattern. It is a kind of
traditional craft and is said to be indigenous to Bangladesh and West Bengal in
India. The art has been practised in rural Bengal for centuries. The name
‘Nakshi Kantha’ became popular after the poet Jasimuddin’s poem ‘Nakshi Kanthar
Math’ was published in 1929.
Traditional kanthas are made for family use. Old or new
cloth and thread are used to make these quilts. Mymensingh, Jamalpur, Rajshahi,
Faridpur, Bogra and Jessore are most famous for this craft. Now it is produced
commercially. You can find them in many expensive handicraft shops in cities.
The quilts are now in great demand because of the colorful patterns and designs
embroidered on them.
