India is a land of art and crafts. Using locally
available goods and guided by a beautiful vision
they make wonderful artifacts. Most of Indian
garments carry a kind of embroidery or the other
in order to be more beautiful and attractive.
Embroidery in general terms, is a kind of work of
fine threads on the surface of a fabric in an
artistic pattern. Different regions of India have
different embroidery traditions on the basis of
fabric, thread, design and the color combinations
applied. Due to their distinct style, intricate
craftwork, complex process and over all their
elegance, Indian Embroidery styles are popular
world over. Some of very famous Indian Embroidery
styles are discussed in different heads
below. One of the most prominent features of the
Lucknow chikankari work is the stitches. Each and
every stitch is done to perfection and the
neatness in the work is hard to find elsewhere.
The delicate and artfully done hand embroidery
gives the garment a look of richness and
skillfulness.

Chikankari This is one of the most sought
after embroidery work of India. Chikankari is
most delicately done embroidery on muslin,
georgette, chiffon and other fine fabrics with
white yarn. Different kind of stitches like flat
stitches, embossed stitches and small stitches
make the fabric very beautiful. A fabric that is
to be embellished with chikankari undergoes
through five different processes viz. stitching,
printing, embroidery, washing, and finishing.
Creeper motif is the most commonly used motif in
chikankari, whereas flower motifs like jasmine,
rose, flowering stems, lotus and paisley motifs
are also very popular. Chikankari embroidery is
not limited to only garments but it is done on
various home furnishing items also like cushion
covers, pillow covers, table linen and partition
curtains. Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh is the biggest
center of Chikankari.

What is Chikankari design? The technique of
creation of a chikan work is known as chikankari
(???????? ??? ????). Chikan is a delicate and
artfully done hand embroidery on a variety of
textile fabrics like muslin, silk, chiffon,
organza, net, etc. White thread is embroidered on
cool, pastel shades of light muslin and cotton
garments

Why is Chikankari so expensive? It's labour
intensive and therefore expensive. Many shops
these days have started fixing ready-made nets in
the fabric in place of a handmade Jaali. It
brings down the price and might appeal to some
buyers but it's not authentic Chikan. The dress
is expensive for those who consider this as a
garment. Actually Chikan (or Chikankari, which is
its full name) is an art. As you well know that
art is priceless, the price lies in the eyes of
the person who sees it in his / her
capacity. You see, I see many paintings from
world renowned painters but am unable to
understand why they are for 3cr or 5cr .Now
regarding the product The material used is
pure silk georgette imported from Italy. The
Indian or Arabian georgettes, when dyed, do not
display the bright shade as in the sample,
theyre somewhat dull. Also they are heavier.

How many types of Chikankari are there? There
are 32 stitches of chikankari, which are broadly
classified into Raised stitch, Embossed and Flat
stitch and Open Trellis. Zanzeera, Rahet,
Banarsi, Khatau, Phanda, Turpai, Darzdari,

How can you tell real Chikankari? All designs
are uniform in their lines and each of the
products of Lucknow chikankari appears to be
identical. There is no fluctuation for the
stitcher's enthusiasm for fine art. The pattern
will be sewed similarly as the PC design
directs Why is Chikankari famous? It offers
exquisite Nawabi cuisine, the most graceful dance
form that is Kathak is believed to have
originated here and it's the hub for a craft that
has become world famous for its intricacy and
beauty and that is chikankari.
