An interesting story on how zardozi embroidery began

Once a mosquito found entrance to a king's head. The fluttering of this mosquito caused the king severe headache. Every kind of treatment had failed. Finally a sage advised the head hakim in his dream that the king would be cured if he is hit by a shoe in the area of pain. The hakim narrated his dream to his associates. They executed a plan. A shoe decorated with pure gold and silver threads was ordered to be made for the purpose. The king was hit with the shoe on his head. This killed the mosquito curing the king of his ailment. The king in turn appreciated the artistic outlay on the shoe and desired to patronise the work. Other emperors and nobles followed him. That is how zardozi embroidery came into being.
