Kala Raksha Trust is dedicated to preservation oftraditional arts. It nurtures self-sufficiency of artisansthrough documentation, education and innovation.
The Trust maintains a Museum as a resource todevelop designs with cultural integrity.
Kala Raksha’s women artisans design,
price and market their ownproducts. Kala Raksha established thefirst design school for artisans to genuinely sustain craft.
Working within existing traditions,
Kala Raksha Vidhyalaya’s curriculum, scheduleand instruction are appropriate toartisans of Kutch. Artisans learn design
to innovate successfully for new markets.
The relevance of theeducation raises the creativity and self esteem ofthe entire craft sector.

The Styles With Which We Work
Currently, KALA RAKSHA works with six distinct hand embroidery styles: the Sindh-Kutch regional styles of suf,khaarek, and paako, and the ethnic styles of Rabari and Garasia Jat.
Suf
Suf is a painstaking embroidery based on the triangle, called a "suf." Suf is counted on the warp and weft of the cloth in a surface satin
stitch worked from the back. Motifs are never drawn. Each artisan imagines her design, then counts it out --in reverse! Skilled work
hus requires an understanding of geometry and keen eyesight. A suf artisan displays virtuosity in detailing, filling symmetrical patterns
with tiny triangles, and accent stitches.
KhaarekKhaarek is a geometric style also counted and precise. In this style, the artisan works out the structure of geometric patterns with an
outline of black squares, then fills in the spaces with bands of satin stitching that are worked along warp and weft from the front.
Khaarek embroidery fills the entire fabric. In older khaarek work, cross stitching was also used.
Paako
Paako literally solid, is a tight square chain and double buttonhole stitch embroidery, often with black slanted satin stitch outlining.
The motifs of paako, sketched in mud with needles, are primarily floral and generally arranged in symmetrical patterns.
Ethnic styles express lifestyle. They are practiced by pastoralists whose heritage is rooted in community rather than land, andconsidered cultural property.
RabariRabari embroidery is unique to the nomadic Rabaris. Essential to Rabari embroidery is the use of mirrors in a variety of shapes. Rabaris
outline patterns in chain stitch, then decorate them with a regular sequence of mirrors and accent stitches, in a regular sequence ofcolors. Rabaris also use decorative back stitching, called bakhiya, to decorate the seams of women's blouses and men's kediya/ jackets.
The style, like Rabaris, is ever evolving, and in abstract motifs Rabari women depict their changing world. Contemporary bold mirrored
stitching nearly replaced a repertoire of delicate stitches --which Kala Raksha revived.
JatGarasia Jat work similarly "belongs" specifically to Garasia Jats, Islamic pastoralists who originated outside of Kutch. Garasia women
stitch an array of geometric patterns in counted work based on cross stitch studded with minute mirrors to completely fill the yokes of
their churi, a long gown. This style, displaying comprehension of the structure of fabric, is unique in Kutch and Sindh.
MutavaThe Mutavas are a small culturally unique group of Muslim herders who inhabit Banni, the desert grassland of northern Kutch. Theexclusive Mutava style comprises minute renditions of local styles: paako, khaarek, haramji and Jat work, though these are known bydifferent names. Specific patterns of each style, such as elongated hooked forms and fine back stitch outlining in paako, and an all-overgrid in haramji, are also unique to Mutava work. Though technique varies, Mutava style is uniformly fine and geometric.

Patchwork and Appliqué
Patchwork and Appliqué Patchwork and appliqué traditions exist among most communities. For many embroidery styles, mastercraftwork depends on keen eyesight. By middle age, women can no longer see as well and they naturally turn their skills and repertoireof patterns to patchwork, a tradition that was originally devised to make use of old fabrics.
Soon after Kala Raksha's inception, the Trust added patchwork to its line of products. Older artisans could thus join the cooperative.
Women need not feel their earning days are numbered. The elder patch workers as well as younger embroiderers can earn.
