    When she showed the work done by Lakshmi, I was blown away. Indian artisans are the best. Many international brands get their embroidery work done in India, but Indian artists don't get credit.

      Even I was blown away when I saw that lehenga. The finished product didn’t look like it was done using just a needle and thread.

      Taj Mahal decorations on walls is product of Indian artisans. In machine age hand work has lost its popularity. We now live in age of machines gadgets.

    Hi DesiGirl Traveller! I normally don't comment on videos but I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for uploading this. I am currently writing an essay about Chikankari for my Fashion Degree and this video was so helpful. I wanted others to also learn about this craft and everything that comes with it. It also helped that you spoke semi English - so thank you for that as well.

      The original Chikankari style cannot be replicated in Pakistan, I've seen both even in India , thought same too, would be impossible to replicate in Pakistan.

    • @leopardtiger1022
      @leopardtiger1022 Місяць тому

      That is always been like that. How much farmer gets from what you pay for his product??? Middlemen and politicians suck blood they are the parasites. High GST tax is one example.. Who befits from it evident from the way politicians fight to win elections to become minister.
