"Bijnor Weaving of Uttar Pradesh "

This technique entered India with the Persian invaders and culminated during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar. He loved this brilliant embroidery technique so much that the royal vestments of his court, the decorations of the auditorium, and the tent walls all incorporated it in one way or another. Later, the British used to force poor Indians to do bijnori weaving in exchange for food. They give them no monetary value other than the food. Later, the British exported these textiles abroad.
