Katha is an indigenous household craft, stitched by the rural women. It is also referred to as the thrift craft as it was usually done on layers of old cotton 'dhotis/saris' with threads drawn out from the sari border for softness. These are then embroidered all over. Thereafter the beneath side is covered by stitching single-colored cloth for making it more durable in case of front-side Katha. More fine the embroidery more is the sophistication effect. Hence the real value of Katha embroidery lies in its fine craftsmanship and vignettes of daily folk life motifs being a favorite of the embroiderers.
