Description

‘Parsi’ embroidery is probably one of the finest and most beautiful style of embroideries finding a place in the Indian Panorama of arts. Anyone fond of embroidered work is sure to have come across this neat embroidery style with very tasteful motifs and color schemes, which though is a heritage of the Persian community in India, however, is loved across the country and beyond.

Traditionally, Parsi embroideries find their place in ‘Parsi Gara’, sarees as worn by immigrant Persian ladies having found a solace in the western parts of India in Gujarat, where Persians took up the Indian style of clothing and Gujarati language around 650 AD.

Origin of the Parsi embroidery too can be traced back to this era only, when the immigrant Persian traders traveled to China from India and fell in love with the fine silks of china with their oriental patterns. It was from these trade journeys did the Persian men brought the luxurious silks with oriental patterns and presented first of the Parsi Gara sarees to their women folk, who rejoiced in the luxury and beauty of the bright colours and fine quality of these sarees. These initial sarees and specimens were the source from where Indian artistes got inspiration to make single thread silk embroidered motifs to emulate the oriental finish and motifs.

Parsi embroidery is typically done with white pure silk on dark base fabrics in black, violet, red or dark green. The colourful specimens are usually on off-white and beige bases. Motifs are usually beautiful floral patterns and birds inheriting from Chinese mythologies and a closeness of Persian culture with nature. The commonly found motifs are the ‘Chinaman’ and woman, birds, and a lot of flora and fauna — designs that signify fertility and good omen — there have been transformations with motifs such as kaanda-papeta (onions and potatoes) and chakla-chakli (male and female sparrows).
