Chikankari Kurti for Women

About Chikankari Kurti History Chikankari is a traditional Indian hand embroidery style that originated in the city of Lucknow, India. It is believed to have been introduced to India by the Mughals during the rule of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The word "chikankari" comes from the Persian word "Chikan," which means "to embroider." Chikankari originally started as a form of whitework embroidery, in which white cotton or silk threads were used to embroider intricate designs on muslin and other lightweight fabrics. Over time, the style evolved to include a wider range of colors and motifs, including florals, paisleys, animals, and even abstract designs. Today, chikankari is most commonly used to decorate cotton kurtis, which are traditional Indian tunics. Chikankari Kurtis for women come in a variety of styles, designs, and colors, and are popular both in India and abroad. Some popular chikankari designs include mangoes, creepers, paisleys, flowers, and birds.
