Gota patti Lehenga or simply gota embroidery is a specialized form of applique technique originating in Rajasthan. Formerly, it was used only on the attires of the royals. But with its immense popularity, gota embroidery is now being used on every attire for the Indian woman – be it suits, sarees or lehengas.
Gota patti work showcases the use of metallic gold and silver ribbons on the main fabric of the attire to create elaborate designs. These ribbons can also be folded into common ethnic motifs like phool-patti, temple border etc and attached to the fabric. They can be also cut into shapes and sewn on the garment. They are usually combined with other crafts like sheesha embroidery, thread work, bandhej or leheriya, sanganeri or shibori print etc to create exotic and exquisite pieces or attires.
