Sheetal learned Chikankari in her teenage years, watching older women in her neighbourhood stitch to support their homes.

The stitches
- 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.
- Chana Patti (gram leaf)Gram-leaf trios scattered along creepers, small leaves in threes.
- Keel KanganKeel sets the pointed flower centre. Kangan rings it like a bangle around the motif.
- Pechni (twisted wrap)Tepchi wrapped over with thread into a raised, spiralled cord.
- Phanda (knot)Tight millet-seed knots placed one by one to build jasmine buds and flower centres.
How to wear it
- An 80 cm blouse piece ships with the saree, so the neckline is a decision for your tailor rather than a compromise made at a rack.
- White work on a pink ground reads in daylight, which makes the saree a haldi or a mehndi morning as readily as a reception after dark.
- Silver or pearl follows the white thread and gold answers the pink ground. Wear one of them, because the saree already carries two colours.
