About Kantha Embroidery: Kantha is a type of free-style embroidery practiced by rural women in the eastern regions of India, specifically in the states of West Bengal, Tripura, and Odisha.
It was traditionally made from layers of old silk or cotton textile, which were sewn together to form a quilt, using a running stitch(Kantha stitch) with a relatively coarse thread. The layered quilts were then decorated with embroidery. In some cases, the entire cloth was covered with running stitches, employing beautiful motifs of flowers, animals, birds, geometrical shapes and themes from everyday activities.
With encouragement from co-operative societies and the government, Kantha embroidery is now in fashion and being used on textiles, saris, home furnishings and dress material.

Love this journal, as I love all Anand Prakash journals I've tried. I use this journal with a fountain pen, and as long as the pressure is okay, it doesn't bleed and glides beautifully. I love the textured paper, the natural looking color, and the rustic jute cover. I purchased many Anand Prakash recycled paper journals and use them for different purposes depending on what the aesthetic makes me think about.
Very well planned range of products that actually connect with Indian sentiments. Hoping for further innovative ranges of diverse products. The journal I took up came up very nice, good picture quality.
The silk diary and gold plated brass pen are truly opulent. Made for special literary art. I was looking to make a collection of my favourite poems and I knew Anand Prakash would have just the right thing.
Just if a cap to the pen would be provided it would be perfect.
Beautiful book. Looks classy and luxurious. I have given it 4 stars since the pages aren't the rustic handmade paper that I love. But other than that, it's a perfect gift for someone who likes to write.
The product is amazing! The packaging is awesome and I love every product of ANAND PRAKASH
it makes gifting easy and special !

Keep up the good work
I recently bought Anand Prakash stationery as a birthday gift for a dear friend, and her reaction said it all—she called it the most beautiful gift she has ever received. Each item truly looks like it’s been crafted with incredible patience and artistic finesse. The fine gold plate, the intricate details—everything speaks of love, perfection, and timeless elegance. It’s rare to find products that feel so thoughtfully made. This isn’t just stationery, it’s art.

These are the 4th I ordered. They are so beautiful, and the packaging is so lovely. Thank you very much! The people at Anand Prakash are so attentive to details and their customers. I will continue ordering from them. :)
Like all Anand Prakash products, this journal is sophisticated, elegant and divine. The quality is top notch; every time I have gifted this to my dear ones, they have loved and cherished it.
Highly recommended!
