Did You Know?

Phulkari, meaning “flower work,” is more than an embroidery tradition, it is a celebration of life, heritage, and womanhood. In Punjab, the birth of a girl child was considered auspicious, and mothers and grandmothers would start embroidering Phulkari dupattas for her, symbolising her role in nurturing future generations.

Over time, distinctive styles such as Chope, Subhar, Sainchi, Tilpatra, Neelak, Ghungat Bagh, and Chammas have flourished, keeping this vibrant craft tradition alive across generations.
