Zari Work: Indian Embroidery

Zari is a type of thread made of fine gold or silver wire used in traditional Indian and Pakistani garments. This thread is woven into fabrics, primarily made of silk to create intricate patterns. Zari is the main material in most silk saris and ghararas. It is also used in other garments made of silk, like skirts and tops. Not confined to garments, however, Zari work can be done to create unique works of arts as well.
