The hindus
and sikhs who practiced this art in western Punjab(part of present day
Pakistan) were organized and affluent. Thus, the quality of the base cloth and
of the floss silk yarn was finer(and hence more expensive). The motifs drew
there inspiration from Islam. The base cloth was either red or white and the
silken floss was usually in soft colors such as white, yellow, or pale orange. The
designs were geometrical, never figurative, and the quality of embroidery was
exceptionally sophisticated.

REGIONAL
VARIATIONS
There existed
regional variations between phulkaris embroidered in various areas of Punjab.
These differences were visible in patterns ,motifs and colors as well as in the
quality of the base cloth.
WESTERN PUNJAB
EASTERN PUNJAB
The khadi base and the floss were more vibrant
and bold in terms of colours and tones. Shades of red, and other colors of the
pat were rich. The pallus of borders were heavily embroidered and the motifs were
dominantly inspired by the everyday life.
Now you see...how phulkari is such a beautiful art and differs in so many types!
Beauty is everywhere and In everything!
I just introduced you to one of them...
