FEBAGRA ZARI EMBROIDERY WORK FORUM

You can find Febagra Zari Embroidery Work Forum at H. No. 23/75 C in Wazirpura, Agra. This area is known for its craftsmanship, and we are right in the middle of it. Our space isn't huge. It’s a typical house turned into a workshop where the zari work actually happens. There are frames set up and people are usually hunched over them for hours. It’s very quiet work but it takes a lot of focus. We don't have a big sign outside or anything like that. Most people in Wazirpura know where we are. We have been doing this for a long time and the skills are passed down through families. We don’t have a formal office structure with managers and supervisors everywhere. Instead, we just have people who know what they are doing. The light in the rooms is very important for the embroidery, so we spend a lot of time adjusting lamps and curtains. Sometimes it feels a bit crowded when we have a lot of projects going at once. We drink a lot of tea to keep going through the afternoon. It is an honest living and we are just trying to keep the tradition of embroidery alive in our own small way. It’s not about being the biggest, just about doing what we know how to do best. We keep the machines running and the needles moving every day to finish the work.
