Plain golden or silver wires are called ‘Badla’ and when these wires are wound around a thread they are called ‘Kasab’, spangles of metal are ‘Sitara’ and tiny dots made out of badla are called ‘Mukaish’. The days of using real gold or silver are now history, what you now get is synthetic
zari or ‘tested zari’.
