Lucknow, in Uttar Pradesh, was and is the centee of chikan embroidery, renowned for its timeless grace and its gossamer delicacy, a skill more than 200 years old.

Chikan embroidery is done on fine cotton fabric. The garments are first stitched and then embroidered, whereas skirts, saris, and table linen are first embroidered and then finished.
