Chikankari work involves delicate white thread embroidery on fine muslin or cotton fabric. Originally, it was done on white fabric, but now it is also done on pastel shades and even vibrant colors. The embroidery is done using a variety of stitches, including backstitch, chain stitch, satin stitch, and more. The designs are intricate and often depict floral motifs, paisleys, vines, and geometric patterns.
