Mamta is a married artisan who first learned Chikankari in her maternal home, never imagining how important the skill would become later in life. Now she fits her stitching between caring for her children and running her household, using the income to support everyday expenses and school needs. Every piece she completes carries her quiet determination to stand on her own feet while caring for her family.
