This embroidery is done by the Mutwa subgroup of the Maldhari community. The women are highly skilled and they specialize in single-thread embroidery. They create geometric designs using a combination of stitched like Paako, suf and ari along with mirrors and create an aura with the running back stitch which is usually in white. They use tie-and-dye surface to complement their embroidery. In olden times, the Mutwas were commissioned by royals and elites to produce embroidered textiles.
