        abstract = {Aari embroidery, the traditional craft of intricate designs and rich detailing, has been the pinnacle of luxury in Indian fabric. Induced by majesty of the Chola and Mughal empires, this type of art overshadowed cultural heritage with extravagance of royal adornment. The chola dynasty, temple decorations, and architectural wonder left their marks on designs inspired by iconography of gods, flower motifs, and geometric perfection. Their decorations are spirituality and beauty infused, with beauty having the propensity to evolve ornateness in traditional clothing and temple decoration. The Mughal period did see the fusion of Persian beauty and Indian craftsmanship. They used to adore everything in abundance, and hence, they created elaborate designs with colorful emerald, vines, and floral motifs as per their culture. Their ornaments contained precious stones, golden threads, and vibrant colors, which were the symbols of power and refinement. Intermarrying the religiously inspired paintings of the Chola with Mughal extravagance, Aari motifs created today create stunning blends of historied art. It is because of these hybrids that a beauty can exist so timeless in scope and yet respect the rich historical heritage of earlier India so appropriately, that they make them even more well suited for wear and clothing and general design.},
