Indian Aari Zardozi has made its own recognition in the world. These zardozi works are expensive types of embroidery because of the fabric and materials used. Mr. Shahid Ansari from Ahmedabad is a well-known artisan who has experience of 22 years and is famous for his unique style of working with Aari Zardozi. He believes that these monuments are heritage as well as Aari Zardozi so he combined them together in his artwork. He captured famous Monuments of India in his artwork by giving a traditional Aari Zardozi attire. For the past three to four years he did 40 artworks using 50 different types of techniques. ‘Wheel of life’ (Gandhiji’s Satyagraha) and ‘Eleven signatures of Gandhiji’ are the most famous Aari Zardozi artworks made of real gold threads. The price for the artwork starts from INR15,000 to a lakh.
