Abstract | Looking back from the time of civilization, India always has rich competencies in the field of fascinating arts, crafts, and cultures along with its high-end heritage. From that time competent craftsmen not only used their skills to fulfill the needs and wants of society but also trade overseas. This used to be a reason for their earning and livelihood. Little by little these skills started demolishing, mukeish or badla or kamdani work is one of them. Mukeish (also known as Badla work or Kamdani in the local language) is a type of old-age metal wire embroidery with its legacy in the capital of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow, the city of Nawabs. Mukeish work involves twisting metallic thread to create patterns over the surface of the fabrics. Earlier original gold and silver wires were used to make these patterns, depicting royalty. With the passage of time, mukeish work lost its shine and royalty. Though it is not vaporized completely, only a handful of skilled craftsmen are available in Uttar Pradesh. The core reason for the decreasing demand for Mukeish work is not crystal clear but a small number of craftsmen are available who work on mukeish embroidery. It is said that mukeish or badla work is the original sequence of India that paves out the track of sequence work around the fashion globe. It is an expensive and indeed time-consuming craft. This meticulous work has lost its shine and glamour due to the lack of skilled artisans. The availability of substitute sequences in embroidery is also the reason for its blurry image in the world of Embroidery. The purpose of shedding light on mukeish or badla work is to review this meticulous craft of India and promote this precious craft around the globe. |
