Phulkari, meaning “flower work,” is Punjab’s most loved embroidery. Using colorful silk threads on coarse cotton, women traditionally embroidered shawls and dupattas during weddings and celebrations. Today, Phulkari has entered global fashion, seen on jackets, bags, and even shoes sold abroad. Its bright patterns represent happiness, resilience, and identity—making it not just embroidery but a celebration of life stitched into fabric.
