Savita is a married artisan from Lucknow who returned to Chikankari after her wedding as a way to keep a part of her own identity alive. She learned the craft from her mother, and her finesse shows in the soft, steady motifs she works on late at night when the house finally quiets down. For her, stitching is not just income—it is the one space in her day that belongs entirely to her.
