Phulkari
Phulkari, an embroidery technique from the Punjab in India and Pakistan literally means flower working, which was at one time used as the word for embroidery, but in time the word “Phulkari” became restricted to embroidered shawls and head scarfs. Simple and sparsely embroidered odini (head scarfs) and shawls, made for everyday use, are calledPhulkaris, whereas garments that cover the entire body, made for special and ceremonial occasions, are known as Baghs ("garden").
Phulkari, a traditional embroidery art is well known for its colorful designs and colors. The dresses made by phulkari are called ‘Phulkaris’ and are worn by punjabi women on special occasions and ceremonies. The word ‘Phulkari’ is made of two words “Phul” and “kari”, where “Phul” means flower and “kari” means technique, thus forming technique of making flowers.
