- Legenda: SRINAGAR (India), 15/04/2025.- Chain stitch threads hang inside the workshop of Farooq Ahmad Bhat's family workshop in downtown Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian-administered Kashmir, 15 April 2025. Farooq has been working in chain stitch embroidery for the past 20 years and represents the third generation of artisans in his family, which has practiced the craft for over seven decades. Once a respected and rewarding profession, the art of hand-embroidered rugs and cushion covers now faces decline due to competition from machine-made products, reduced demand, and lower pay, making it increasingly difficult for artisans to sustain the tradition.
