Chikankari is a fine art of embroidery made with white untwisted yarn with the help of a needle on a fine cloth. It is done on viol, silk, cambric, georgette, terry cotton etc. At first, designs are printed on the cloth with washable colours while different stitches or embroidery work is done on cloth. This is a home based industrial activity which is mainly performed by women artisans and workers. • Chikankari is considered to be the most popular and is recognized worldwide. • There are several theories about the origin of chikan. The process of chikan was basically invented in Lucknow[citation needed]. It developed quickly during the period when the Mughals ruled and consisted of styles inspired by foreigners[citation needed]. Lucknow grew into an international market for its renowned chikan work. • There are references to Indian chikan work as early as 3rd century BC by Megasthenes, who mentioned the use of flowered muslins by Indians. There is also a tale that mentions how a traveler taught chikan to a peasant in return of water to drink. However, the Noor Jahan story is the most popular of the lot. • Chikan began as a type of white-on-white (or whitework) embroidery. • • sources- http://sonamsrivastava.blogspot.in/ • This footage is part of the professionally-shot broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest collection of HD imagery from South Asia.
