{"product_id":"kadambini-12","title":"Kadambini","description":"\u003cp\u003eKadambini is more than a saree, it is a living testament to \u003cstrong\u003eBengal’s Kantha tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e, where embroidery becomes memory and fabric becomes storytelling. Kantha, one of Bengal’s most intimate and enduring crafts, began as a domestic practice where women layered old textiles and stitched them together using simple running stitches. Over time, this evolved into \u003cstrong\u003eNakshi Kantha\u003c\/strong\u003e, a richly expressive embroidery form where motifs of flora, fauna, folklore and everyday life are narrated through thread. Each stitch carries rhythm, patience and a deeply personal touch transforming cloth into a canvas of lived experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKadambini continues this legacy on the finest base of \u003cstrong\u003eGachi Tussar silk \u003c\/strong\u003econsidered one of the most premium forms of tussar ever woven. Known for its natural texture, soft golden undertone, and breathable lightness, Gachi Tussar offers the perfect ground for intricate hand embroidery while maintaining a graceful, fluid drape. Over several days, skilled women artisans from \u003cstrong\u003eBengal\u003c\/strong\u003e guide thousands of delicate running stitches across the saree. The surface comes alive with \u003cstrong\u003elayered Gujarati stitch, also called Rabari embroidery, Sindhi embroidery or Kutchi stitch; \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003einspired compositions. The embroidery is not merely decorative, it builds texture, depth, and a quiet dimensionality unique to handwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Kadambini saree is inherently one of a kind. The human hand ensures that no two patterns align perfectly; slight variations in stitch density, spacing and thread tone make each piece deeply personal and irreplaceable. The craft itself remains \u003cstrong\u003eethical and sustainable \u003c\/strong\u003erooted in slow processes, fair wages and a zero-waste philosophy that has defined Kantha for centuries. No machines, no shortcuts, only time, skill and intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeather-light yet enduring, Kadambini transitions effortlessly across worlds paired with traditional jewellery in Kolkata, styled minimally in London or layered into contemporary wardrobes in New York. It is not bound by geography, only by appreciation. When you choose Kadambini from BONGONIKETAN, you bring home more than a saree, you carry forward a \u003cstrong\u003eliving heritage of Bengal\u003c\/strong\u003e, crafted by hands that stitch not just fabric but stories meant to last generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 293px;\" height=\"138\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 27px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 90.3906px; height: 27px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDimension\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 186.609px; height: 27px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eL = 6.4 mts\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eW = 43.5 inch\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 27px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 90.3906px; height: 27px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFabric\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 186.609px; height: 27px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePure Gachi Tussar Silk \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 90.3906px; height: 23px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBlouse Piece\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 186.609px; height: 23px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRunning Included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 27px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 90.3906px; height: 27px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCraft\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 186.609px; height: 27px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand Embroidery Kantha Stitch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 11px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 90.3906px; height: 11px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCare\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 186.609px; height: 11px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDry clean only\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNote:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePicture shade may differ from the actual although it is shot under natural light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct may have slight irregularities because it is handmade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bongo Niketan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47531846008988,"sku":"N-BS-SA-1","price":16120.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/3982\/5820\/files\/Bengalhandembroiderykanthasilksaree4_7a5daaaf-8008-40ec-bec2-fde4d191db8f.jpg?v=1788525686","url":"https:\/\/bongoniketan.in\/products\/kadambini-12","provider":"BONGONIKETAN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
