This abstract elucidates about ‘Phulkari’ which is a traditional handmade embroidery, literally meaning "flower work", perpetuated by the women of Punjab (North-west India & Pakistan) during the 19th century and till the beginning of the 20th century.
Even though the textile industry today, is imitating this art with the help of machines, ‘Phulkari’ work has almost disappeared in its original form, due lack of interest for manual work, profitability, industrialization etc. This abstract provides the landscape on present research.
