Royal and noble women of the western Himalayan valley of Chamba perfected the technique of double-sided embroidery in their creation of rumal, which they acquired as gifts on the occasion of their marriage. For this pictorial composition, an artist drew guide lines using a fine brush on handmade muslin, and women filled in the forms with brightly-colored untwisted silk floss. Inspired from Pahari paintings, scenes of Krishna with the gopis and cowherds coexist with Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana adored by Hanuman.
