Embroidery is decorative needlework, traditionally practiced to embellish any material with well-defined patterns and designs. The authentic art of hand embroidery is detailed, as it takes hours of dedicated effort. Still, today's technological advancements, garments are often set through machine embroidery, giving many delicate stitches. This kind of craft has been passed to generations from local artisans, and hence the people derived different forms of work at domestic platforms. Also, the styles of embroidering vary from place to place and even village to village. Therefore, they enjoy other names at different locations.
Embroidery works are often used to decorate clothing, accessories, utility products like handbags, wallets, laptop bags, footwear, etc., and household furnishing materials like table linens, tray clothes, towels, and bedding. Tirumala Garments Training Center, based in Gurmatakal, Karnataka, is a skill development center approved by the Government of Karnataka. The center employs a lot of staff from the locality. They are supervised and guided by senior artisans with more than eight years of experience in the field. Various kinds of embroidery works are undertaken here, each incorporating different threads chosen upon the intended output.
