Phulkari, which means “flower-work” is integral to the history of Punjab. The embroidery is done by women during their free time and the fruits of this leisure activity would be gorgeous dupattas that would be given away to the daughter of the family during her wedding.

The motifs that are a part of this embroidery are a reflection of the life and household of women. Everything that they observe - from the flowers they grow, the vegetables that they eat, to the animals and birds that exist around them - are embroidered on the fabric. As a result of this, the phulkari work done in each household is distinct from the other and has its own unique story to tell.
