As with language, the elements of this medium are manipulated according to rules. The style is thus understood as an entity and used by all members of the community in the same way. Rabari style reflects an aesthetic sense also expressed in the mud relief, jewellery and even tatoos of Rabari women. Rabari embroidery is distinct among other styles practised by Rabari neighbours. This style is by no means static.
Stitches change, scales increase and decrease and colours become bolder and brighter.
This embroidery is continually revitalised by the spontaneous innovation of Rabari artisans. Its the creativity of Rabari women, a manifestation of their extraordinary capacity for adaptation that keeps this traditional vital.
