Chikankari is a traditional form of embroidery originating from Lucknow, India, known for its delicate and intricate needlework. The embroidery is typically done on lightweight fabrics like muslin, cotton, silk, chiffon, and georgette, making the products ideal for warm weather. Chikankari designs often feature floral patterns, paisleys, and geometric motifs, all created with fine, white thread, although colored threads are sometimes used.

A Chikankari product, such as a kurta, saree, or dupatta, is a perfect blend of elegance and tradition. The fabric is adorned with a series of stitches like shadow work, backstitch, and hemstitch, each contributing to the garment's overall grace and sophistication. These products are highly valued for their craftsmanship and are often worn during special occasions or as part of everyday wear in warmer climates, offering a timeless appeal that transcends fashion trends.
