How India’s Ambi became “Paisley”

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Whenever my mother drew mehendi (henna) on my hand, she always started with the “Ambi” motif. It was everywhere, on her old sarees, curtains, and jewellery.
When I grew up, I discovered it was called “Paisley”, and I wondered what the story behind this motif was. Let's find out!

    I always knew paisley came from India, but I didn't know it was based on cypress and mangos.

    In Gujarati, a mango is called as keyri or kairi or keri and most traditional clothes of Gujarat has this mango shaped motif on them. It is one of the symbol and identity of Gujarat along with other symbols like patola, bandhani, mirror wirked clothes etc.. I don't know if it originally came from persia or somewhere else but I know that its really ancient and very traditional for Gujarat just like a swastika and kalash.

    It’s called 'ambi' because mango is called amb in Kashmiri. That’s the origin of ambi, from where it was a prominent motif for the shawls and the handicrafts of Kashmir

    a great video honestly and no offence but that's not how you pronounce kashmiri. You're saying kaashmiri, instead try shortening the "kaash" part and simply say "kashmiri"
