Danke Ka Kaam Rajputi Poshak
Danke ka kaam is the craft of stitching small metal dankas (flat gold or silver discs) onto the poshak, building dense, light-catching patterns by hand. It gives a richly ornamented, jewel-like surface that is unmistakably Rajputi.
At The Grand Abhaneri, each danka is placed by hand on a wooden adda — one of the most labour-intensive finishes in the atelier.

Questions, answered
What is danke ka kaam?
Danke ka kaam is hand-stitched metal-disc embroidery — small flat dankas of gold or silver are sewn onto the fabric to build dense, light-catching patterns characteristic of Rajputi poshaks.
Is danka work heavy?
Densely-worked danka poshaks have weight and structure, which is why they are chosen for ceremonial moments like the phere and reception rather than daytime functions.
Can danka be combined with other work?
Yes — danka is often combined with tari, gota-patti and zardozi for a layered, richly ornamented surface. The mix is made to order.
Is the poshak made to my measurements?
Yes — every piece is made to order. Sizing, fit, kali count, work density and odhna length are tailored to you. Share your measurements with our atelier on WhatsApp before ordering.
How long does it take and how much does it cost?
Made-to-order poshaks take about 38 days; ready pieces ship in 3–5 working days. Prices range from ₹25,000 to ₹2,00,000+ depending on fabric, work density and whether real silver is used.
