About Chikankari
GI tagged Chikankari (Urdu: چِکن کاری, Hindi: चिकन की कढ़ाई, चिकनकारी) is a traditional embroidery style from Lucknow, India. Translated, the word means embroidery (using thread or wire), and it is one of Lucknow's best known textile decoration styles.
Chikankari stems from the white-on-white embroidery of Shiraz in Iran, that came to India as part of a culture of Persian nobles at the Mughal court. There is also a tale that mentions how a traveler taught chikan to a peasant in return of water to drink.
The most popular origin story credits Noor Jahan, Mughal empress and wife of Jahangir, for introducing chikankari to India.
Chikan began as a type of white-on-white (or whitework) embroidery. The different types of Chikankari embroidery that are often used are Phanda, Jaali, Tepchi, Murri, and Bakhia. To identify authentic chikankari, look for loose threads on the back of the garment, which are a result of the meticulous handwork.
