About the Art:

The Chamba Rumal or Chamba handkerchief is an embroidered handicraft that was once promoted under the patronage of the former rulers of Chamba Kingdom.

Known as a "needle wonder" or 'needle painting", Chamba Rumal is made in square and rectangular shapes. The materials used still consist of muslin, malmal, khaddar (a coarse fabric), fine charcoal or brush, and silk threads without knots.

Using a double satin stitch (dorukha) for the embroidery, both faces of the cloth are concurrently stitched by a forward and backward technique to maintain uniformity of design on both faces of the rumal. After completing the embroidery, the fabric is stitched with a border of about 2 to 4 inches on all sides. 

This speciality called dorukha embroidery (double-faced), came from Kashmir to take root in Basohli and Chamba, but the inspiration was taken from the fabled miniature paintings of the region. 

Popular themes are Rasmandala, Ashtanayika and other stories around Krishna.

Trained Pahadi miniature artists draw the outlines in charcoal and suggest colour schemes which is then skillfully embroidered by the embroiderer.

What we learn:

In this workshop, we will learn about different stitches, motifs, florals, techniques and subjects of Chamba Rumal alongwith its history and development.

We will create a 20"x20" rumal with a Holi theme, depicted with Krishna throwing colors on Radha. 

You will receive a kit with 10 colors of silk thread, 2x2 ft fabric marked with the design and border (one extra fabric unmarked) and a needle.

About the artist:

We will train under state awardee artist Indu Sharma ji who will join us LIVE from Chamba. Indu Sharma is among the most skilful artists in Chamba and has received state- and national-level recognition for her Chamba rumal embroidery.

She is working since the age of 19, receiving her training in the craft from veteran artist Kamala Nayyar.

Check your milk preference when buying this unit. Product Does not last
Color: White
I purchased this frother in mid Oct and less than 90 days later, it's no longer working. The wisk does not spin, and the element does not heat the milk. I am currently working with customer support on a refund / replacement, but so far not happy. I've been told it does not work with 2% organic milk and that I need to switch to whole milk, which will solve my issues. Not sure how whole milk will help with the heating element? This was not disclosed when I purchased the unit. If I had known my milk choice would impact the frother, I would have chosen another brand or product. I like the unit, it's compact, easy to clean, but it did not last.

Easy to use, reliable machine
Color: White
Great product! I have a fully automated DeLonghi cappuccino/latte coffee machine. After 5 years of use, the machine's milk frothing function started to fail. I purchased this product to supplement/replace the milk frother on my DeLonghi automated coffee machine; it works great and produces copious milk froth with much less mess.

Best frother ever!
Color: White
This is the best frother ever! Works better than my expensive espresso machine frother. So easy and makes a large amount enough for 2 large cappuccinos.

False advertising--it won't froth almond milk.
Color: White
Bought this because I am vegetarian and I've consumed Almond milk for the past 15 years. The profile on this product said it would froth all milks, including almond. It does not--it heats the almond milk but does not froth it. It did froth 2% cow's milk I served a visitor, but I won't use cow's milk. I missed the return date by 1 day, or it would have been returned this product for a full refund. If you want to froth plant/ nut milk, don't waste your $$$.

substitute for an ineffective espresso machine steam wand
Color: White
On sale, this item was reasonably priced. It very effectively heats and froths milk in two or so minutes. Less milk enables a more intense froth. It easily cleans up with soap and hot water. It appears to be well- engineered. It proves to be an able companion to an espresso machine.
