Being one of the most technically refined embroideries, Chikankari was introduced by Nur Jehan(Wife of Mughal emperor, Jahangir) at a time when no piece of textile was able to survive in the race in the long run. Like a deep blue ocean with mollusks becoming a shell, this magnificent blue sari from Lucknow with white chikankari hand-embroidery on it will get your eyes glued to this heavenly attire. The paisleys designed in a circular motion with floral in-between act as a perfect end piece for the sari’s pallu.
Heart-shaped embroidery with foliage coming from within fills up the void space so graciously. The timelessness of this georgette sari can be judged by the intricate embroidery with white thread that took place throughout the sari. Back in the time, chikankari was associated as a symbol of royalty as it was only worn by Mughals and Rajputs. Exotic India has made this magnificent piece of attire available for you directly from Lucknow, a place that has been given Geographical Indication status for Chikankari in 2008.
