Phulkari, meaning "flower work," is a traditional hand-embroidery art from Punjab. It uses unspun silk floss yarn (pat) on cloth with darning stitches. Artisans embroider vibrant geometric, floral, and daily-life motifs from the reverse side to create rich, textured designs.
The Patiala/Rajpura cluster provides skill training, design innovation, and home-based employment to thousands of rural Punjabi women artisans.
Rekha Maan and team creates a diverse Phulkari collection that includes vibrant Jaal dupattas, kurtas, and kurti sets alongside daily accessories like cotton stoles, mobile slings, keychains, folders, and hand fans. Beautifully embroidered home decor items such as cushion covers and napkins complete the assortment.
Originating in 15th-century Punjab, Phulkari is a deep-rooted cultural symbol of womanhood and auspiciousness (Sohag). Traditionally embroidered by grandmothers and mothers for weddings, ceremonies, and heirloom gifts, it evolved into dynamic styles like Bagh, Chope, and Darshan Dwar.
