You should know that there is kalachai printing in other countries such as Iran, but it was originally in Indonesia in a traditional way and the people of this country brought their ancient culture and traditions to the cloth, that's why kalachai printing was included in UNESCO's world list as a cultural symbol in 2009. Indonesia was registered.

It is believed that the name of this art is derived from the Persian word glass, but nowadays glass embroidery is very popular in India and it is also seen in some other Asian countries such as China and Afghanistan.
