The second embroidery form - Kantha.
Kantha is perhaps the oldest form of Indian embroidery as it can be traced back to the 1st Century A.D. This needlework reuses old clothes such as sarees and dhotis and turns them into something new with a simple stitch. It is a form of embroidery often practised by rural women in the states of West Bengal, Tripura and Odisha.
