The technique is believed to have originated in the eastern Indian states of West Bengal and Orissa, and in Bangladesh. The word \"kantha\" comes from the Sanskrit word \"kontha,\" which means \"rags\" or \"pieces of cloth.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTraditionally, kantha was used to repair and recycle much-loved textiles, such as old saris and dhotis, by using a simple running stitch. The process involved layering the old fabrics and then using the running stitch to hold the layers together. The process of layering the fabrics was an effective way to add insulation and provide warmth, especially for those living in rural areas where winters were harsh.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe use of kantha embroidery was a way for rural women to make use of their existing resources and create something new and beautiful from old textiles. These women would pass on the skill to their daughters, who would then go on to make their own kanthas. This was a way of preserving the cultural heritage while passing down the knowledge and skills from one generation to the next.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eKanthas are now widely considered as art rather than just a functional item, and are highly sought after by collectors and textile enthusiasts. They are often made into various products like cushions, quilts, table runners, wall hangings and so on. The textile itself is a visual representation of the creators' environment, culture and the subject that was closest to their hearts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe technique of kantha embroidery is relatively simple, yet it creates intricate and beautiful designs, created using the running stitch, which is a straight stitch that is applied in a continuous line, creating a pattern.
