Indian tapestries as wall hangings

The semi itinerant tribes of western and southern India are well known for their intricate embroidery done in vibrant hues. Popularly called as "mandala" embroidery, this style is paired with mirrors, wood dots, cowrie shells and buttons. Village ladies in western and north-western India set vintage material patches with mandala embroidery in a delightful manner to make awesome interior decorations or so-called Indian mandala tapestry.

Though common choice criteria, for example shape, size and hues apply to the Indian woven artworks also, there are a couple of subtleties that can help with selecting this dazzling bit of craftsmanship. Here we talk about the components that are over and beyond the size, shape and the shade of the tapestry.

Depth of the embroidery

Tapestries that are made mainly employing these patches show a more noteworthy range of hues and themes and are generally costly.

Mirror and bead work

Indian mandala tapestry receives more radiance, weight and cost when they are given enclosed mirror work in different sizes with beads like wood, bone and metal, old coins and cowrie shells.  Most tapestries with mirror work create a sparkling impact – exceptions are special cases where mirror work has been presented to the components and is rusted. Tapestries with mirror work patches more than 20 to 25 years old can have broken or missing mirrors. Cowrie shells are an indication of affluence and most Indian tapestries will have a little bit of them.

Pattern organization

Indian tapestries as wall hangings generally have a more ordered arrangement of material patches when compared with the Indian sari beaded tapestries. Some tapestries however do employ patches organized in a random manner around neck area patches. The visual appeal of the two models is very different.  

The model or the image for the tapestry is performed by a craftsman on card - this is called the cartoon. He uses this as the "outline". Today, in automated tapestry creation, the craftsman makes a painting size of the final tapestry and then a specialized outline is made demonstrating every line of the weft and card is punched by electronic device to fit the jacquard loom
