Krishna Kari is India’s original Zardozi embroidery, born in the divine Brij region of Agra — the land of Lord Krishna. Tracing its roots to the Vedic era, this art flourished through the Gupta, Maurya, and Mughal dynasties, adorning emperors, queens, and deities alike. It was Mughal Empress Noor Jahan who named it Zardozi — Zar meaning gold and Dozi meaning embroidery — yet its origin lies in the attire of Lord Krishna himself. Crafted with gold and silver threads and enriched with semi-precious stones, Krishna Kari is a three-dimensional expression of devotion, royalty, and artistry.
