1, 2 and 3
Statement 1 is incorrect. The Kalamkari painting is not exclusively used in making of carpets. Kalamkari is an ancient style of hand painting done on cotton or silk fabric with a tamarind pen, using natural dyes. Nowadays, this art is primarily done to create Kalamkari sarees. Karrupur is a style of Kalamkari that developed in the Thanjavur region during the Maratha rule. The Kalamkari work was a further embellishment to the gold brocade work in the woven fabric, which was used as sarees & dhotis by the royal family during the period of Raja Sarfoji and later Raja Shivaji.
Statement 2 is correct. Zardozi is an applique method of embroidery. With one hand the craftman holds a retaining thread below the fabric. In the other he holds a hook or a needle with which he picks up the applique materials. Then he passes the needle or hock through the fabric. Zardozi embroidery work involves making elaborate designs, using gold and silver threads. Further adding to the magnificence of the work are the studded pearls and precious stones. Zardozi embroidery work is mainly a specialty of Lucknow, Bhopal, Hyderabad, Delhi, Agra, Kashmir, Mumbai, Ajmer and Chennai.
Statement 3 is correct. Chikankari is a very delicate and intricate shadow work type of embroidery. This embroidery is done using white yarn, on colorless muslins known as tanzeb. However, today, georgette, chiffon, cotton and other fine fabrics are also being used. From being an embellishment used primarily for decorating clothes, Chikankari embroidery work of India has now spread to cushion covers, pillow covers, table linen and so on. Indian Chikan work basically consists of a number of processes, namely cutting, stitching, printing, embroidery, washing and finishing. Cutting and stitching are done by the same person. Then, printing is undertaken with wooden blocks dipped in dye. After this, embroidery is done, usually by women. Lucknow is famous for Chikankari.
