Being one of the most technically refined embroideries, Chikankari was introduced by Nur Jehan(Wife of Mughal emperor, Jahangir) at a time when no piece of textile was able to survive in the race in the long run. Like a deep blue ocean with mollusks becoming a shell, this magnificent blue sari from Lucknow with white chikankari hand-embroidery on it will get your eyes glued to this heavenly attire. The paisleys designed in a circular motion with floral in-between act as a perfect end piece for the sari’s pallu.


Heart-shaped embroidery with foliage coming from within fills up the void space so graciously. The timelessness of this georgette sari can be judged by the intricate embroidery with white thread that took place throughout the sari. Back in the time, chikankari was associated as a symbol of royalty as it was only worn by Mughals and Rajputs. Exotic India has made this magnificent piece of attire available for you directly from Lucknow, a place that has been given Geographical Indication status for Chikankari in 2008.

A Symphony of Blue and White: Exquisite Lucknow Chikan Saree

Immerse yourself in the ethereal beauty of this resplendent river-blue georgette saree, a testament to the timeless artistry of Lucknowi Chikankari. Each stitch is a whisper of tradition, meticulously hand-embroidered to create a breathtaking tapestry of delicate white patterns against the serene blue canvas. This saree is more than just an garment; it's a wearable work of art, carrying the legacy of centuries-old craftsmanship. The georgette fabric drapes with an unparalleled grace, flowing with every movement and lending a luminous quality to the vibrant blue hue. The intricate chikan embroidery, a hallmark of Lucknow, adorns the entirety of the saree. Delicate floral motifs, paisley swirls, and intricate geometric patterns are brought to life with the skilled hands of artisans, creating a mesmerizing interplay of texture and design. The white threadwork stands in stark, beautiful contrast to the soft blue, creating a visual symphony that is both elegant and captivating.

A Celebration of Craftsmanship

The beauty of this saree lies in its painstaking creation. The Chikan embroidery, originating from the ancient city of Lucknow, is a highly revered form of Indian handicraft. It involves the delicate art of white-on-white embroidery, typically performed on fine fabrics. This particular saree showcases a rich repertoire of stitches, including the classic 'tepayi' (a shadow stitch), 'bakhiya' (a herringbone stitch), and 'hool' (a needle-piercing technique), each contributing to the overall depth and artistry of the design. The motifs are not merely appliqued; they are woven into the very fabric of the georgette, giving the embroidery a subtle, dimensional quality. The pallu and border of the saree are particularly elaborate, featuring a denser concentration of embroidery that creates a striking frame. The body of the saree is interspersed with motifs that are both scattered and thoughtfully placed, ensuring a balanced and harmonious aesthetic. The sheer quality of the georgette allows the intricate work to be seen beautifully, creating a delicate and sophisticated look.

Versatile Elegance for Every Occasion

This exquisite saree is a masterpiece that transcends seasons and occasions. Its captivating color and intricate handwork make it an ideal choice for weddings, festive celebrations, formal gatherings, or even a sophisticated evening out. Drape it with a classic chignon and traditional jewelry for a timeless Indian look, or pair it with contemporary accessories for a more modern interpretation. The subtle shimmer of the georgette, combined with the intricate white embroidery, ensures you will be the center of attention, radiating grace and elegance. This is an heirloom piece, destined to be cherished and passed down through generations, a symbol of refined taste and enduring beauty.
