Syona Puliady examines a choḍ textile from northwestern India, identified both through its stylistic features and an inscription linking it to a Mumbai-based family. The analysis situates the piece within the region’s long-standing embroidery traditions, where production is often organized through family-based workshops and highly specialized artisans. Drawing comparisons with contemporary craft practices, Puliady explores how collaborative techniques, division of labor, and evolving gender dynamics shape the making of choḍ patas, offering insight into both historical continuity and cultural change within regional textile production.
