What is Chikan?
  • Chikan has nothing to do with Chicken it is not a delicacy!
  • Chikan is a kind of embroidery done only in Lucknow in north India

  • Chikan is not just about embroidery but also involves a very special kind of bleach or processing done only in Lucknow
  • What distinguishes Chikan from any other handwork is the sobriety of the garment it is very muted not loud and gaudy which was the hallmark of culture of Nawabs of Lucknow
