The Lambani people are the forebears of the Romani people of Europe. Vibrant textiles are created by arranging mirrors, brightly colored threads, and shells into numerous designs and a rich repertoire of motifs. The distinctive mirrored and embroidered dress of Lambani women indicate their married status, and form the dowry of young girls who begin to make them at an early age.

Sandur Kushala Kala Kendra is organized into self-help groups of 15 to 20 women. The Kendra now includes 300 craftswomen, with an additional 100 in training.
