Sujni embroidery, also known as Sujini or Sujani, is a traditional quilted textile craft from Bihar, especially from regions like Madhubani and Muzaffarpur. Its origins lie in rural household practices where women repurposed old sarees and dhotis by layering them and stitching them together to create quilts. Over time, these functional textiles evolved into expressive embroidered narratives. Traditionally, Sujni depicted scenes from daily life, rituals, nature, and women’s lived experiences.
