Mahatma Gandhi Wall Hanging | Aari Embroidery | 20x43 CM

A Vision of Simplicity and Strength
In the quiet town of Porbandar, Gujarat, a child was born who would one day inspire a nation to fight for freedom through non-violence and truth. This handcrafted wall hanging captures the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi—the Father of the Nation—through intricate Aari embroidery, rooted in Gujarat, just like Bapu himself.

Crafted by skilled artisans, this artwork is more than a decorative piece—it’s a textile homage to a man who stood for simplicity, discipline, and courage. The humble cotton base pays respect to Gandhi’s own preference for khadi and handmade goods, while the off-white tone speaks to peace and purity.

Rooted in Traditional Craftsmanship
Aari embroidery, traditionally done with a hooked needle, has been a part of India's royal textile heritage since the Mughal era. The technique demands steady hands and a sharp eye, requiring the artisan to draw each chain stitch with uniform precision. Every line and curve in Gandhi’s portrait is hand-stitched—not printed or machine-embroidered—which makes the artwork alive with texture and emotion.

From tracing Gandhi’s iconic round glasses to the folds of his shawl, every detail is brought to life with the thread alone. This level of artistry is not only rare—it’s disappearing. Buying such a piece directly supports artisans in Gujarat who are keeping this age-old skill alive.

The unframed format allows versatility—whether you wish to mount it traditionally, stretch it over a wooden frame, or hang it scroll-style, the design adapts effortlessly to your aesthetic.

What Sets It Apart
Unlike machine-made décor that often feels impersonal, this wall hanging carries the identity of the artisan within every stitch. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, with minor variations that highlight its handmade authenticity. It celebrates slow fashion, sustainable living, and handcrafted Indian décor, all in one.

The cotton fabric is lightweight, breathable, and durable. The off-white background enhances the contrast of the embroidered figure, making it stand out subtly yet powerfully in any space.

Care Instructions
Handle with care to retain the texture and quality. Wash gently by hand using mild detergent. Avoid soaking or bleaching. Iron on the reverse side if needed, using a low heat setting.
