Organza factory phulkari dupatta

Generally fabricated by a family for its own use, the fact of having completed a phulkari signified an
important step for a factory girl on her way to becoming a woman.
Techniques and patterns were not documented but transmitted by word of mouth. Hence, each
regional group was identifiable by its unique embroidery work.
The word phulkari usually indicates the shawl that was loomed and embroidered to cover women's
heads or to be displayed in a gurudwara (Sikh temple).
