In a diverse country like India, embroidery has always been the expertise of women, both working and homemakers. For every important moment in a woman’s life like wedding, birth, and religious functions, stitching continues to be a promising skill. That’s how Sujani embroidery came into existence in the state of Bihar.

Learn About Us
The Sujani embroidery work of Bihar, is a textile expressive art product, given protection under the GI registration act. It is usually a quilt or bed spread, which was earlier made of old clothes, but is now generally made of easily available fabric with embroidery done with the most simple stitches with motifs narrating stories. It is exclusively made by women in 15 villages of Bhusra in the Gaighat block of Muzaffarpur and a few villages of Madhubani in the Indian state of Bihar.
Sujani made by women depicts animal, bird and day to day activities of village life. The products are quilt-cum-bedspread, sometimes stuffed with tattered cloth to give it added thickness. Sujini is labour intensive the number of stitches per square inch varies from 105-210. A fine running stitch all over sheet in the same colour as the base cloth creates the background upon which motifs are outlined in chain stitch.

The community of practitioners of textile crafts embody notions of traditional skills performed in familiar surroundings. In spite of the cultural connect of the community of artisans with sujni, this association has been largely limited to small-scale enterprises. Lack of design innovation and marketing avenues led to a crisis where sujni embroidered products faced a downslide almost till the point of extinction. In 1988, it received a boost with the initiative of Adithi, a voluntary agency 5 which has made significant contribution in the revival of sujni in association with Mahila Vikas Sahyog Samiti (MVSS), an NGO registered as an autonomous society,MVSS coordinates sujni projects with the artisans living in Bhusura.
