In the initial days, it was done with white thread on the white fabric which was usually cotton but today you can find Chikankri embroidery designs in every possible colour.

Punjab is not only famous for ‘Sarson
Ka Saag and Makki Di
Roti’ but also for its embroidery design ‘Phulkari’. As the name depicts,
Phulkari is an embroidery design of flowers on
fabric. It was practiced by the homemakers for Punjab as a pastime. The base cloth is dull, often Khadi. Then it is
completely covered with bright coloured embroidery designs with no gaps. The
motifs follow a geometrical pattern and are usually decorated in floral
designs. Traditionally, phulkari was a bridal outfit, but today it can be worn
on traditional events too.
3.Zari/ Zardosi
‘Zari’ means ‘gold’ and ‘dosi’
means ‘embroidery’ in Persian. In this embroidery usually gold and silver
threads are used to create intricate designs and motifs with precious stones
and pearls. Initially, zari was practiced on velvet fabric, which made it look
very royal, but now it is done on various fabrics like silk and much more.
Earlier, it was worn only by the rich, but now almost everyone could afford it.
