This embroidery style name is inspired by the Kutchi word for the "date fruit’
 KHAAREK.
It has simple as well as complex geometric forms and is practised by the Meghwad maaru community.
Khaarek is a counted thread embroidery style
There is no outline or drawing done on the fabric to guide the craftswomen.
Instead, the design is conceptualised by counting the threads of the fabric and mentally working out the composition.
Craftswomen begin by plotting the squares and rectangles that constitute the grid of the geometric forms.
A black or dark colour is used to outline the grid. Spaces within the grid are filled in using the stain stitch in different colours.
