]]> The Lambani community is considered to be one of the oldest communities in the world. There are numerous stories that explain their origin and migration patterns. Known as a nomadic tribe, they reared buffaloes that were used to transport materials, grains, and salt from one place to another. The Lambanis are a colourful tribe; today, their clothing, ornaments and other accessories have come to define their identities and cultural heritage. The embroidery on their clothes is spectacular and is popular in regions where the Lambanis have settled over time. Consisting of about 40 embroidery techniques, Lambani embroidery has earned a GI Tag in Ballari, Karnataka and is one of the most intricate, beautiful and delicate handicrafts. Lambani embroidery is a perfect culmination of artistry, technique, pattern work and intricacy.
