Nakshi Kantha

Nakshi (Nack-she), meaning graphic or design.
Kantha (Kantha), meaning mat.

I am told, it is a Bangladeshi tradition, but it is not traditional, it is very very traditional! The kantha is embroidered by rural virgin girls, solely because of their good eye sight. I was too polite to explore why the girls' virginity is significant, but I guess it must be so.
