Note:

Sanjhi, the art of hand cutting designs on paper, is a typical art form of Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, the legendary home of Lord Krishna. Traditionally, motifs from Lord Krishna stories are created in stencil and these stencils are filled with colours to decorate open spaces on the floors of temples during festive seasons.

The cutting process requires enormous skill, concentration and patience. The fine details are achieved with specially designed scissors. Of late, patterns of Mughal origin as well as more contemporary themes have been introduced to widen the repertoire. At one time this art was believed to be practiced extensively over Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat but now it survives only in Mathura.
