A bouquet of flowers - Guldasta. Zardosi embroidery, an exquisite craft symbolizing royalty, was introduced to India by the Mughals in the 17th century. The term "Zar" denotes gold, and "Dosi" translates to embroidery. Historically, Zardosi involved the use of gold and silver threads adorned with precious stones. This particular piece, crafted by artisans of Inaãra, showcases intricate work using gold and silver dipped copper threads, enhanced with an array of semi-precious stones like turquoise, emerald, rubies, tiger’s eye, agates and more.
