It is a kind of traditional craft and is said to be indigenous to Bangladesh and West Bengal in India. The art has been practised in rural Bengal for centuries.

বাংলা অনুবাদ:

নক্ষি কাঁথা হলো সূচিকর্ম করা এক ধরনের কাঁথা। এর নাম নেওয়া হয়েছে বাংলা শব্দ ‘নকশা’ থেকে, যার অর্থ শৈল্পিক নকশা বা অলংকরণ। এটি একটি প্রাচীন হস্তশিল্প এবং বলা হয় যে এর উৎপত্তি বাংলাদেশ ও ভারতের পশ্চিমবঙ্গে। এই শিল্পটি গ্রামীণ বাংলায় শতাব্দীর পর শতাব্দী ধরে চর্চা হয়ে আসছে। কবি জসীমউদ্দীনের “নকশী কাঁথার মাঠ” কবিতা ১৯২৯ সালে প্রকাশিত হওয়ার পর ‘নক্ষি কাঁথা’ নামটি জনপ্রিয় হয়ে ওঠে।

প্রথাগত কাঁথা সাধারণত পারিবারিক ব্যবহারের জন্য তৈরি করা হয়। পুরোনো বা নতুন কাপড় ও সূতা ব্যবহার করে এসব কাঁথা তৈরি করা হয়। ময়মনসিংহ, জামালপুর, রাজশাহী, ফরিদপুর, বগুড়া এবং যশোর এই হস্তশিল্পের জন্য সবচেয়ে বেশি পরিচিত। বর্তমানে এটি বাণিজ্যিকভাবে উৎপাদিত হচ্ছে। শহরের অনেক দামি হস্তশিল্পের দোকানে এগুলো পাওয়া যায়। রঙিন নকশা ও নান্দনিক ডিজাইন সূচিকর্ম করা থাকার কারণে এই কাঁথার এখন ব্যাপক চাহিদা রয়েছে।
