hello readers..
how are you!!
In next few posts we will be discovering more about phulkari work.
first of all...there are two types of phulkari work itself!
1) BAGH
Bagh literally means “garden of flowers”, and the term distinguishes the flowered Phulkari is that the embroidery is so profuse that the ground colour is no longer visible thus the embroidery becomes the fabric itself.
2) CHOPE

1) BAGH
Bagh literally means “garden of flowers”, and the term distinguishes the flowered Phulkari is that the embroidery is so profuse that the ground colour is no longer visible thus the embroidery becomes the fabric itself.
There are some types of BAGH..
which are mentioned below :-
•Shalimar and
chaurasia baghs recall famous Mughal gardens
.•Ikka bagh-
playing cards (diamond).
•Dhoop chhaon
(sunlight and shade),
•Laharya
(wave, patang (kite)
,•Saru
(Cypress)
•Suraj mukkhi
(sunflower)
,•Panchranga
(five colours)
•Satranga
(seven colours)
•The danga
(river) bagh aptly depicts a row of blue wavy stripes on a white ground.
Chope is usually embroidered on the borders.
It is gifted to the bride by her grandmother during some ceremony before wedding.
The “Chope” is embroidered straight with two
sided line stitch which appears same on both the side. Unlike Phulkari and Bagh
where a variety of colours are used, Chope is generally embroidered with one
colour (Golden or yellowish golden mostly).
we will discover more about BAGH phulkari in my next post.
till then stay tuned and take care sweets.!
