Gold or silver metallic threads are couched (laid on the surface and stitched down) to create elaborate geometric and floral patterns. The threads are not pulled through the fabric but secured on top, creating a distinctive raised metallic surface. Kashmiri artisans follow centuries-old pattern templates.
Tilla work has adorned Kashmiri royalty for centuries. The intricate metallic patterns symbolize prosperity and are considered auspicious for weddings and celebrations.
