The stitches
- Keel KanganKeel sets the pointed flower centre. Kangan rings it like a bangle around the motif.
- Chana Patti (gram leaf)Gram-leaf trios scattered along creepers, small leaves in threes.
- Phanda (knot)Tight millet-seed knots placed one by one to build jasmine buds and flower centres.
- Bakhiya (shadow work)Herringbone worked on the reverse of sheer cloth, so the motif glows through as a soft shadow, the signature of true Chikankari.
- Pechni (twisted wrap)Tepchi wrapped over with thread into a raised, spiralled cord.
Allied Lucknow work
Worked alongside the Chikankari, not part of it.
- Mukaish (metal sparkle)Flattened metal wire pierced through the cloth and twisted into points of sparkle, Lucknow’s badla work.
How to wear it
- The dupatta is the magenta piece and the kurta and garara the white ones, so over the head or across a shoulder it decides how much colour the outfit shows.
- Kurta and garara are both white, so a second colour arrives only through jewellery or a shoe, and the magenta thread is the one it has to sit beside.
- Only the kurta needs sizing, since the garara sits on an elastic waist and the dupatta is a fixed 250 x 100 cm.

Each piece is embroidered and finished by hand, so a measurement may vary by up to 1 inch. That variation is the signature of handwork, not a defect. The first table measures the kurta and the second the garara, which sits on an elastic waist. The dupatta is 250 by 100 cm.
