The embroidered tales of Marwada Harijans - Kharek Embroidery

                                                              KHAREK EMBROIDERY 

Kharek, the name itself is reminiscent of the tactile textural quality of Dates tree and the Kharek bharat is an exultant inspiration of the form. It is a geometric style of needlework created by counting the structural make up of the fabric. The pattern is primarily executed with black outline of double running stitch and then the surface front is filled in with bar-shaped clusters of satin stitches along the warp and weft of the textile.
