==Technique==<br />
Lambada embroidery uses a combination of stitches and [[appliqué]], along with other embellishments. Tribal women use coins, shells, buttons, [[cowrie]]s, and small pieces of mirrors to decorate their colorful costumes, which include a ''phetiya'' (skirt) and ''kanchali'' (blouse). The motifs are mainly geometrical, with gridlike patterns.<ref name=":0" /><br />
