Phulkari..

..means the craft of embroidering flowers on a cloth.Traditionally these would be made on khaddar but other fabrics can also be used. In my grand-ma's time phulkaris were made at home mainly as gifts to be given to girls at the time of their wedding and even today almost every Punjabi girl/woman will have at least one phulkari. It a beautiful reminiscent  of the by-gone days and thankfully one that is still gaining in popularity.
