Sujini is a traditional form of embroidery that originated in Bihar, India. It is a craft practiced predominantly by rural women and involves stitching intricate patterns and motifs on fabric, often using discarded cloth or sarees as the base. Sujini embroidery is known for its running stitch technique and typically depicts everyday life, folklore, and nature, including animals and plants.

Historically, Sujini embroidery was used for making quilts and baby blankets, but today it has evolved into a recognized art form, and the embroidered textiles are used for making various decorative items, apparel, and accessories. The art form not only preserves local traditions but also provides a source of income for rural women artisans in Bihar.
