Meenakshi embroiders from her home in Jamkhanwa, and her phanda knots and leaf stitches travel on the pieces that carry her name.

Meenakshi embroiders from her home in Jamkhanwa, one of the women who work for the house from their own neighbourhoods. Chikankari is the skill her household runs on, and she has built her practice on it piece by piece. Her phanda knots and leaf stitches finish the pieces that carry her name.
