Rajasthan’s pichwai paintings

Preserving a 400-year-old artistic tradition

Known for their beautiful brocade saris and lehengas, Shanti Banaras – a treasure trove of Banarasi weaves – works intensively in the handloom and hand embroidery sector. Led by Creative Director Khushi Shah, the label has recently taken a new initiative to conserve the dying craft of hand-embroidered tapestries via pichwai artworks.
