First, the fabric is stretched over a wooden frame, which has four stands to keep the frame straight, just like a table, so that the artist can do work with relaxation. Next, using thread and the aari needle, artisans embellish the cloth with cotton, silk, and zari threads, using sequins, beads, pearls, rhinestones, etc. Usually, before embroidery, the design is traced to the fabric.

The History Behind the Aari Work

Aari work traces back to the 12th century, the Mughal era, when fascinating floral motifs and traditional motifs were used. During that era, these embroidery works were done for royal and elite-class people. So, it is one of the costliest embroidery types in India. Places in India like Rajasthan, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi are known to have practised Aari embroidery until now.

The Basics of Aari Work

This embroidery uses semi-precious stones and beads along with zari and silk threads to add richness and extra charm to the cloth. The needle, which is used to create patterns, makes chain stitches in the process. This embroidery is done on any kind of fabric like velvet, cotton, silk, Chanderi, organza etc. Natural motifs like flowers, leaves, vines, trees, birds, mango motifs, paisley motifs, and jaal motifs are done in this embroidery style. Due to its versatility, embroidery is being practised in contemporary fashion as well as traditional attires.

The Application of Aari Work

Aari work is considered one of the most time-consuming and tedious hand needlework. So, today, artisans work on a cloth together as a group, making the work less time-consuming and less costly. In modern days, sarees, lehengas, kurtis, sherwanis, sometimes shirts, and party wear gowns are also seen to have Aari work on them.

Tips for Maintaining Aari Work

As Aari work is costly and very intrinsically delicate, it should be maintained with proper care. Dry cleaning is generally recommended for such fabric, though a gentle hand wash can be done to retain its newness.
