Kantha is a form of embroidery often practised by rural women. The traditional form of Kantha embroidery was done with soft dhotis and saris, with a simple  running stitch along the edges. Kantha runs in every young girl's blood in rural Bengal. The artisans are given the freedom to choose their designs and colours that keeps this heritage stitch alive in its original form.
 
Tussar silk (alternatively spelled as tussah, tushar, tassar, tussore, tasar, tussur, tusser and also known as (Sanskrit) kosa silk) is produced from larvae of several species of silkworms belonging to the moth genus Antheraea.
