KHAYAL (mood-board):
When you think of Chikankari, you invariably think of the Classic fine quality thread work, that once defined the look of this embroidery . There is an ethereal charm of that era of Chikankari, that seems like a whisper of the soul whose hands embellished the fine fabric. They carry the joy, the tears, the stories, the candour that the artisans shared, while the needles brought alive each Flower, Knot, Trellis; but how much more beautiful would it be, if this whisper of Fine Chikankari was not just relegated to beautiful coffee table books & museums as part of archived history of Textiles. It is heart wrenching to see beautiful embroidery motifs of Chikankari housed in Textile Museums, to be gawped at, but designated to a fate where they shall never be part of someone else’s story.
Shahi Paan Kurta is our endeavour from The Art and Antiquities Project of Meiraas, for which we travel through museums, seek crafts in Temples and study Historical archived images, so that the Queens in us can make these designs a part of our unique story again
