According to a famous local legend, when Lord Buddha and his followers faced a lack of clothes, they picked up rags and stitched them together to cover themselves at night. This is believed to be the earliest mention of the famous Kantha work of West Bengal. Locally, women used to stitch several layers of sarees into one cloth to use as a blanket. The multiplicity of designs on the sarees created a variety of patterns across the fabric and inspired the artists to use the embroidery style in a range of women’s wear.

Floral vines with flowers of the most effervescent colours run across the length and breadth of the dupatta, giving it a beautiful appearance.
