Another legend has it that a darner (known as Rafugar) named Alibaba, who lived in the Valley of Kashmir was specialize in stitching torn clothes. One day it so happened that a fowl stepped on one of his drying cloths lying nearby and cast its footprints on the white base. This caught Alibaba’s attention and he decided to get creative about it. He wanted to preserve the footprint as it was and hence outlined it with a needle and thread. Thus, was born Kashida, the Kashmiri embroidered forms which later on took diverse forms, including Aari.
