welcome to PHULworld!!

hey readers...
I am back with some interesting points and mere introduction to the beautiful world of PHULKARI!
            ready to explore....

 Phulkari is a rural tradition art of crafting embroidered odhni(head drape or shawl) used by women in Punjab, literally meaning" flower work ", linked integrally with events considered to be milestones in a womans life.  It is a form of traditional art where it is done in simple designs with long and short darn stitches. The shorter the stitch is the finer it looks.   “PHUL” means “flower “and “KARI” means work. Also known as“Gulkari”. The Phulkari is more than just an item of clothing; it’s a part of anethos steeped in social and ritualistic traditions.

Phulkari embroidery technique from the Punjab region (divided between India and Pakistan) literally means flower work, which was at one time used as the word for embroidery.
I welcome you to the flowering world of Punjab!
