Detailed Description

Lucknow has been famous for its various handicrafts for as long as anyone can remember. Zardozi is one of the most exquisite ones. It is extensively practised in Old Lucknow where a lot of craftsmen live and work. I visited one of the add as where it is done and in no time made a bond with them. This project is an attempt to understand the nuances of the craft and its people, get a glimpse of their life and know them better. Each day marks a different experience, a stronger bond and a deeper layer of insight. In the course of this visual ethnographic study, I begin to enjoy the rhythm of everyday activities and evolve in a way that is intangible.
