The process involves drawing a design onto the fabric, then embroidering from the background to the foreground. Motifs are outlined with black or brown threads and filled in with vibrant threads. Sujani embroidery often depicts animals, birds, and village life. It was also used to spread awareness about social issues. It is used to make items like saree, dupa as and kurtas. The clothes for the new-born and infants adorned with sujani works are the best illustration of this form of art.The sujani technique of sewing together the layered pieces of old cloth is deeply rooted in two ancient beliefs. First, the clothes bound together by Sujani serve a ritual function. Stitching together the separate pieces symbolically embodies the holistic Indian philosophy that all parts belong to the whole and must return to it. "
