Chikan Embroidery is a form of hand embroidery with patterns of different designs stitched using untwisted white cotton or silk (or rayon) threads on the surface of the fabric. In Chikan work, there is a fixed repertoire of stitches and it is usual for several types of stitched to appear on the same piece of embroidery (thereby enhancing its intricacy and beauty).
The different types of Chikan work done today are Tepchi cotton, Bakhia, Phunda, Murri, Jaali, Hathkati, Pechni, Ghas Patti, Chaana Patti etc... Chikan is a traditional embroidery style from Lucknow, India. Literally translated, the word means embroidery. Lucknow in India grew into a international market for its renowned Chikankari work. The name Chikan has been derived from the Persian word Chakin or Chikeen meaning a cloth wrought with needlework.
