History has it that when the Mughals came to India, they brought with them a Persian embroidery technique that left
the indigenous people stumped. They called it Zardozi or embroidery done by hand in threads made of silver andgold. From thrones to
beds; ensembles to drapes; adornments to accessories, every surface began using this decorative art. Except one surface that was
too gossamer for them to embroider: Pashmina.
