The embroidery handicrafts of a country reflect its rich cultural and artistic history and are an important part of that country's economy. Embroidery Handicraft: Artists and craftspeople use a variety of methods and beautiful, colorful designs to create the most interesting of art. In rural and semi-urban areas, the embroidery craft employs a large number of artisans. It also contributes to the preservation of culture. Handicrafts are essential to the preservation of a country's cultural identity, and can also be viewed as works of art in their own right. These works of art are often viewed as pieces of nostalgia, providing a connection to the past that can be shared by those who appreciate and admire them. Every state in India has its own textile handicraft. In this paper, only the ancient textile embroidery of the Northern Region has been discussed, in which the history of embroidery, the craftsmen who make it, the fabric, the color of the thread, and the motifs have been told. The Northern Region's ancient textile embroidery is, Kashidkari from Jammu and Kashmir, Chambal Rumal from Himachal Pradesh, Phulkari from Punjab, and Chikankari from Uttar Pradesh. These embroidery pieces are also very expensive because they are only made by skilled artisans. In addition to being expensive, these embroidered items are also labour intensive and time consuming.
