Bringing Meghalaya’s Khneng Embroidery Back to Life From Near-Death | Study IQ IAS Hindi

Bringing Meghalaya’s Khneng embroidery back to life from near-deathor more than 200 years, the Mustoh village near the India-Bangladesh border was the only one in all of Meghalaya to boast a unique, multiline, centipede-like embroidery known as Khneng. However, with each passing generation, fewer people opted to learn how to stitch the intricate patterns.

It shocked Phrang Roy, a Khasi biodiversity activist, when he discovered in 2014 that only three women (two who are in their mid-40s and a 60 year-old) were left who know the craft.

Time was running out.

Roy and his organisation, the Shillong-based North East Slow Food & Agrobiodiversity Society (NESFAS), made it a mission to revive the Khneng embroidery technique.

Through rigorous workshops with the “three knowledge holders,” the number of artisans with Khneng knowledge increased to 20 by 2021. As word spread about the initiative and this one-of-a-kind form of embroidery, textile researchers, designers, and boutique owners from all over the country began reaching out about Khneng.
