Hailing from sheesha which means mirror is what Abhla Kaam is all about. Originated in the 17th century in Iran, this needlework was done using mica but gradually the artisans switched to using small pieces of glass. This embroidery is extremely popular and widely used in Gujarat as a hobby by women who use Abhla Kaam to decorate clothes and other fabrics to celebrate their festivals and honour the deities. Nowadays, Abhla Kaam has made its way into contemporary fashion houses as well as other interior decor designs. During Navratri, Abhla Kaam can be seen on the gorgeous traditional Gujarati outfits donned by both men and women as they celebrate by dancing to the garba beats.
