Nakshi kantha, a type of embroidered quilt, is a centuries-old Bengali art tradition of the Bengal region, notable in Bangladesh and Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura and part of Assam. The basic material used is thread and old cloth. Nakshi kanthas are made throughout Bangladesh, but the greater Mymensingh, Jamalpur, Bogra, Rajshahi, Faridpur and Jessore, Chittagong areas are most famous for this craft.
One of the panels showcases a marriage ceremony with all sorts of motifs and the Palki (the box-like carriage) awaits the bride.
The panel on the left shows a meeting of two young people (a man and a woman) holding hands, perhaps the same two people who are getting married, a memory in time
