You can see Pichwai online.
But you don't really understand it until you stand in front of one.

You notice the scale.
The tiny details.
The layers of colour.
The hundreds of hours behind every painting.

And at Parampara, five master artists are bringing their own lineages and approaches to this tradition together.

Come see Pichwai beyond the screen.

Parampara.

How much do you know about Kasuti embroidery?

Originating in Karnataka, Kasuti is a meticulous hand embroidery tradition known for its geometric precision and motifs inspired by temple architecture, nature, and everyday life. What makes it particularly fascinating is that the designs are created by counting the threads of the fabric, rather than simply following a drawn outline.

The motifs — gopurams, chariots, palanquins, elephants, peacocks, parrots, marigolds, cradles and more — drawing from Karnataka’s temples, natural surroundings, religious traditions and everyday life.

Swipe through to discover the stitches, motifs and intricate details that make Kasuti one of Karnataka’s most remarkable embroidery traditions.

Which Kasuti motif is your favourite?
