| Light Green Silk Saree |
Now sarees are designed with Zardosi, sequence, kundan and thread work embroideries..
Zardosi was the favorite embroidery of the queens..Especially during the Mughul period it was a mark of royalty and sophistication..
Zardosi is a word used by Parsis.. In Parsi Zar means Gold and Dosi means embroidery..
As the cost of the gold increased and the number of people who could afford to buy them were less, silk threads, gold plated copper wires and gold color silkthreads are used in place of gold..
The cloth is fixed to a wooden board, and special needles are used for this work.
This work continues for many days.. Nalma or golden wire, sitara or metal stars, chamki, glass beads, dabka or gold or silver wires which look like spring and kasab are used in this work..
Charminar in Hyderabad is famous for this work worldwide.
