Phulkari (Punjabi: ਫੁਲਕਾਰੀ) is a type of embroidery from Punjab region of India and Pakistan. The Punjabi term Phulkari is made of two words: phul meaning flower and akari meaning shape. Phulkari means the shape/direction of flowers. Although Phulkari means floral work, the designs include not only flowers but also plant motifs and geometrical shapes. Phulkari embroidery typically uses the darn stitch on the wrong side of coarse cotton cloth with coloured silken thread. The embroidery is mostly done by women and Phulkari is considered a women's art. Traditionally, Punjabi women would clean their courtyards and invite friends and family to ceremonially begin the process of embroidering a Phulkari and folk songs would be sung for this occasion. Phulkari embroidered dresses are still considered traditional for Punjabi weddings.
