Embroidering Fabric for a Sari



These men spend hours sitting here and embroider this silk by hand. They are including "jewels" as well and colored thread. The lighting is as you see it. They are in the Bangalore Palace. I wasn't supposed to take a picture since I didn't pay the extra Rs 500 for my photo permit but my guide insisted I take a picture.

Looks like you have seen a lot in 3-4 days. Great pictures. Let me know if you need any info about India.
