Famous phulkari from Punjab

June 6th, 2007 by Utsav

Punjab is known for its famous phulkari embroidery. Phulkari creates flowery surface. The simplicity of its stitches, the darning, worked from the bark makes phulkari quite famous among the people and adds to its distinctive features.

Phulkari is actually quite traditional from its origin. It’s the speciality of punjab and every other women in punjab knows phulkari. Bagh, meaning garden, entire surface richly ornamented by a continuous design. Several types of bagh- salimar, chand, mirch, duniy bagh etc are there in punjab and phulkari is very much inspired by the natural creations in punjab.

Chober is also one of the famous embroidery of punjab just like phulkari. Whether its phulkari or chober from punjab both are done largely in silk and occasionally with green cotton threads and even woolen(thread). All famous traditional punjab embroideries are very much inspired from its background and nature.
