Kantha is a form of embroidery often practised by Indian and Pakistan rural women. The traditional form of Kantha embroidery was done with old or new soft dhotis and saris, with a simple running stitch along the edges. Depending on the use of the finished product they were known as Lepkantha or Sujni Kantha.

The embroidered cloth has many uses including shawls, Bed Covers and pillows. In some cases, the entire cloth is covered with running stitches, employing beautiful motifs of flowers, animals birds and geometrical shapes, as well as themes from everyday activities. The stitching on the cloth gives it a slightly wrinkled, wavy effect. Contemporary kantha is applied to a wider range of garments such as sarees, dupatta, shirts for men and women, bedding and other furnishing fabrics, mostly using cotton and silk fabric.

• Kantha is the most popular form of embroidery practiced by rural women. Typically use saris and cloth and layer them with kantha stitch to make a light blanket, throw or bedspread.
