Legend has it that a Raffoogar (darner) named Alibaba lived in the valley of Kashmir. He was proficient in his job of stitching and mending torn clothes and spent his days doing countless stitches and bringing dead clothes to life. One day a fowl stepped on a drying white cloth lying around while he was working. The imprints of fowl’s feet caught Alibaba’s attention and he wanted to preserve this natural print that was left behind. He picked up a needle with a colored thread and stitched around the print, preserving it for lifetime. An all-new technique of embellishing the fabric, which was later known by the name of Kashida Kaem (Kashmiri embroideries) was thus invented.
