A HOLISTIC CHANGE
CHIKANKARI
The Art Behind Lucknowi Embroidery🧵
This traditional embroidery style is one of Lucknow’s most ancient and well-known art forms, believed to be introduced by the Mughals. The simple yet elegant handwork on the garment, gives it a very subtle, classy feel that modern embroidery techniques lack. The main essence of the garment is a simple design, and while motifs are now added to make the garment look rich, it still remains a affordable fabric choice.

Work Bonds Communities Together🤝
Lucknow's chikankari embroidery is not mere needle craft but a glowing example of how peace and prosperity thrives when citizens are encouraged to creatively engage with each other. The embroidery no matter how exquisite is only one aspect of the story, and incomplete by itself.
