(I) Proof of origin / Brief History (Historical Records) :

In the traditional wall painting of Mithila (a region of north Bihar with an ancient practice of women painting the walls of the nuptial chamber). The art of drawing has always been separate from that of painting. An outline was first drawn and colours filled in subsequently; the whole tradition of painting in Mathila may therefore be described as “coloured drawings” (Jain, 1994). Appliqué is a craft which was waste pieces of cloth as its raw material. Articles produced by this craft were used by kings and emperors and the nobility in the past as shamiana and chandowa. The British High Commission and the Ford Foundation in Delhi were first to commission this craft in late 1970’s. They ordered a series of wall hanging depicting observations and reflections of the lives of the women. By tracing of the history of these early works, it appears that foreigners were dictating the designs. Insofar as they were asking for images of happy villagers, male children (when the women were concerned more about girl children), and the romantic pastorals of village life. These works and some of the current production are considered politically safe and highly decorative.

(J) Method of Production :

Traditionally this craft used waste pieces of cloth as its raw material and was usually done with white cloth on bright backgrounds like red or orange. So fine was the work that, in the past, the articles produced were used by kings, emperors, and the nobility. The motifs include human figures, trees, flowers, animals, and birds. Circular cut-work is for the central motifs and quarter-circles are used for the corners. Kanats or walls of tents have tree forms with animal figures. Usually, the men used to cut the patterns and the women do the stitching. Today this Appliqué work is done by women only their on personal garments or for commercial purpose. The colours range from scarlet, orange, and yellow, to pale green, mauve, and white. In garments like caps and blouses, embroidery is combined with appliqué. Most of the raw materials today are produced on cream markeen fabric and occasionally in other colored shades of casement fabric. Coloured handloom is used for saris, kurtas, and dupattas, and sometimes tussar silk is used in making stoles and jackets. They purchase locally available raw materials including the bulk purchase of the base fabric and the coloured cloth for patch work along with stitching threads.

First outline of the design is traced or drawn directly onto the cloth. Then the coloured cloth is also outlined and cut to the desired shape and size and stitched on the base cloth. Stories and compositions are prepared by the women who also choose their own colours and themes. Appliqué is also used to adorn women’s garments. The background color and the foreground appliqué motifs are cleverly arranged to give the design an entirely new dimension. A master chart of the appliqué designs, called awalkhana, is prepared on the cloth before the work is executed. This design also helps new artisans to learn this traditional art form. They offer a unique glimpse of contemporary accomplishments of ordinary women with extraordinary visions of the world.

(K) Uniqueness :

Traditionally this craft used waste pieces of cloth as its raw material and was usually done with white cloth on bright backgrounds like red or orange. The stitching in Khatwa cloth is a practical way of connecting three or four layers of cloth together. The simple utilitarian straight stitches along with patch clothes soon began to take on personal meaning as it evolved into images from the women’s lives. The balance between what stitches do-patch, repair, connect and hold layers together and what the stitches can become narrative elements is a key to understanding the artistic expression of the women in Bihar The women of the village encounter many new things in their life experience encounter many new things in their experience. The physical environment, whether rural or urban, profoundly affects the quality of their lives, so frequently a source of inspiration.The women draws and stitch images about these subjects through their own interpretations of the world. .

(L) Inspection body :

The applicant has informed that they are in the process of the establishment of an inspection body.

(M) Others :

The Khatwa craftswomen also have used hand woven silk and naturally dyed cloth. The two principal items of this craft continue to be used today as modern utility items such as cushion covers, curtains, tea cozies, table-cloths, curtains, blouse pieces and sari borders. The canopies are made of thick background materials, usually red or orange, appliquéd with geometric patterns cut from thin white cloth. The walls of the tents bear designs of flowers, birds and trees. The vibrant colors used in the appliqué reflect the joyous mood

Muzzaffarpur District of Bihar


Today production of Sujini embroidery is done mainly in about 15 villages adjoining village nameld Bhusura in Ghaighatti block of Muzaffarpur district in Bihar and also in some pockets of Madhubani..Bhusura, the village where Sujuni was developed is less than 100 kms away from the center of Mithila painting. The rural women of Muzaffarpur district of north Bihar now continue to embroider in the Sujini tradition, using a combination of a fine running stitch. This is an ideal vehicle for assisting the many Rajput women who are living in poverty, but are prevented by social custom from working. Women can now earn money while practicing a craft that their fathers, husbands, and in-laws deem ‘respectable’. Craft revival is often characterized by nostalgia for perceived aesthetics and lost skills. The Sujini is distinctive for its transformation of a traditional craft into a vehicle for expressing contemporary social and political themes. These narratives proclaim that social change is the essence and purpose of the craft revival. Tragically similar stories abound: drunk, disabled, absentee, or unemployable husbands, unsympathetic cruel and demanding mothers-in-law, property that has been mortgaged to pay off debts. The embroideries also collectively express the injustices of everyday life-of dowry burning, female infanticide, rape, and feudal persecution. The women depict not only the familiar religious iconography but also their own suffering and discontent. This process has allowed them to develop a new vocabulary. A typical quilt is divided into two parts. One side seeks to portray the realities-a drunken man beating his wife; a man giving dowry; men cloistered in a village meeting, and women in purdah. The other side seeks to express a vision – a woman selling her produce in the market; a woman addressing a meeting; a woman judge, and power!


Most of the Sujini furnishing items today are produced on cream markeen fabric. Occasionally brown and black casement fabric is used. Colored mull or handloom is used for saris, kurtas, and dupattas, and sometimes tussar silk is used in making stoles and jackets. The objective is to use locally available raw materials including the bulk purchase of the base fabric and Anchored embroidered threads to the extent possible from Muzzaffarpur local town market. The outline of the design is traced or drawn directly on to the cloth. Sujuni in spite of being a simple form of embroidery with a limited stitch repertoire evokes strong feelings with its folk like characterization. A fine running stitch all over the sheet in the same colour as the base cloth prepares the background. Chain stitch (usually black or red) is

used to outline the motifs, and the details are then filled in with tiny running stitches in coloured threads. Stories and compositions are prepared by the women who also choose their own colours and themes. Women usually prefer to collect the cloth and threads from the MVSS centre (the local center) to their homes and work flexible hours, depending on their domestic responsibilities. The smaller items are worked on individually. For the large bedspreads or quilts, three or four women work together on the piece, starting from the ends and moving towards the centre.

(K) Uniqueness :

The uniqueness of Sujini embroidery primarily lies in its story-telling theme. It need not remain a romantic mythological or religious life style. It can talk about contemporary problems of peace and harmony and issues related to the rural women’s world.

Sujuni embroidery designs begin either from the central or the outer layers depending on what the dominant features will be. The rest of the Sujini is filled in with figures, objects, symbolic scenes, shapes and combinations left totally to the imagination of the craft woman. The stitches used are of the simplest kind. The running stitch is not only the main stitch but also the most ingeniously employed. The empty spaces are filled with the running stitch, length and spacing being regulated. The running stitch moves around the patterns to create a rippling and whirling effect, molding and making the motifs stand out against the background of the cloth.


The applicant is taking steps to set up a suitable and effective inspection body.

At one point of time a very large part of the population in North Bihar was engaged in this craft, which was a mainly practice in some of the pockets in Darbhanga, Madhubani and Sitamarhi districts of Bihar. Sikki work was a skill possessed by women in this region and gradually with active intervention of some of the local NGOs like Adithi this was carried actively to generate income along with an expression of form of their lives, their love and their aspirations. Ironically today, there is yet growing demands for Sikki grass work not only for their outstanding beauty but also for a certain culture; certain value system they stand for. But unfortunately there aren’t many actively involved in the craft due to lack of new design and product innovations and as a result there has been gradual reduction of regular sales and income flow due especially due to the bottle neck in regular market. It is estimated that today there are about 1500 skilled artisans but majority are not as actively involved with this craft any more and the craft is almost in the verge of extinction. In the Sursand block of Sitamarhi district there are about 500 and in Parihar block there are about 800 skilled artisans but many are not involved. The annual turnover is also gradually going down and it is estimated that today the volume of Sikki product sales figure would not be more than Rs 40 to 60 thousand.


Sikki is the king of stemmed grass found in the wet lands of the North Bihar. The women collect sikki-grass from the village farms. The upper portion of the stem, which contains flowers, is discarded and the remaining portion cut into small pieces and preserved for making attractive sikki ware.

To make the Sikki grass unable it is first cut from near its base and then dried. The upper portion of the flowering stem is a then discarded. The remaining portion is finely sliced and shaved and use for making the products. Sikki is sold by the traders at the weekly hat (market) or by itinerant door-to door sellers. The rate caries, but interestingly, Sikki is not sold by weight, but measured by the fistful. Baskets crafted out of Munj grass area a part of the living tradition of the state and have multiple uses, including the storage of food, clothing, and jewellery. Munj grass, pale lemon in colour, grows, wild, and is strong and durable. Used either in its natural shade or dyed into many hues, the colourful baskets are further embellished with fringes of shells. Colours and glue (Arabic) are available in the local market. Sikki grass, dyed in red, blue, black, and gold is imaginatively wrought into a variety of articles. The sikki, which is characterized by its wonderful golden hue, is also coloured into myriad shades to make the products more attractice. The deities that are fashioned are depicted with their own special colours in two-dimensional images. The colours most popular are purple, deep blue, bright yellow. Magenta pink, green and red, all combined with the natural golden to make the final product a riot of colours. The women craft the products throughout the year according to their needs. The Technique of making Sikki products : The desired forms are generally shaped with ordinary grass called khar which is coiled and encased in the softer Sikki, while many of the motifs are derived from the local tantric traditions. Technical improvement, by means of dyeing of grass with fast colours is being introduced. The coiling technique, is the oldest, is most commonly used in Sikki. The common long grass is wired and stitched together with the Pasikki, dyed in several different shades, using a thick needle called Takua. Especially in constructing the sculptural forms, the whole build up is made by the coils. The technique used for making from Sikki is the ancient and time honored coiling method. Interestingly the actual form is shaped with Munj, raffia grass, or Khar, which is much cheaper and more abundantly available. This provides the basic shape and gives additional strength to the product. The Munj is completely oiled over and covered with Sikki; the only tool used by the women us a 6 inch long needle shaped iron object called takua with a rounded head, made of lac, which used to hold the needle while coiling the grass. The object being made is held firmly while the right hand is completely free to wield the Takua. No threads or cords or any other materials re used. The Sikki is slightly dampened to make it more pliable as it is coiled around the Munj. The colouring is achieved by boiling it in dyes. Each of the Sikki products is not only colourful but also individual. Colours are used in dramatic contrast and each product reflects the creative impulse of its maker. Two-dimensional images of birds and animals, trees, and figures are also beautifully crafted. Some craftswomen are now experimenting and making products only in Sikki grass, without using the traditional; Munj base.
