Mir Abdul Majeed
For more than six decades, Mir Abdul Majeed has shaped thread into heritage, pioneering Aari staple embroidery and carrying Kashmir's centuries-old craft of hand embroidery to homes across India.
A craft learned out of necessity, carried on by devotion.
At twelve, Mir Abdul Majeed left school to support his family, apprenticing in embroidery after his father's sudden illness. What began as necessity became six decades of mastery: pioneering new techniques, training thousands of artisans, and carrying Kashmiri craft onto national stages.
