Needle work of Punjab is unique, it has beautiful names because of its associations with beautiful aspects of life and the beautiful designs which the dextrous fingers of Punjab's proverbially beautiful women create have such a wealth of forms and motifs that they defy enumeration. Phulkari meaning Flower work, is a spectacular style of embroidery peculiar to punjab and an essential part of everyday life. Almost every ceremony in which women participate is given a touch of additional colour and richness by the use of Phulkari on account of its being considered auspicious and a sign of 'Suhag'. Some of these are called Baghs, literally a garden, Phulkaris, literally flower work, rummals, scarfs. The patterns of needle work done on the bed spreads, chunnis, dupattas (these are head covers) and shirts and Salvars, are still different.

Needle work on phulkaris is done on a deep coloured cotton cloth with striking silk threads. The threads is pierced upwards from underneath the cloth into free-hand motifs, while in the Baghs and Rummals such cloth is worked on the top side only. This type of embroidery is so excellently done that it is hard to distinguish between the left and right or upward and downward side. It has the look of a carpet. The patterns are not restricted or controlled, but bold, free and highly imaginative. The designs and motifs are an expression of the embroiderer's thought and aspirations. These women can stitch a railway train, motorcar, lorry or even a rath (chariot) out of sheer curiosity. Birds, domestic and wild animals in different sizes and from different angels are common. In the whole composition, one often comes across several ornaments such as hansali, tika, karda, ponchi, singhar-patti and guluband. Another peculiarity of this embroidery is that no two Phulkaris are alike. These were traditionally used for wear but now are exported as wall hangings and sewn as jackets etc.

Guru nanak devji wrote: "Kadd kasidha paihren choli, tan tu jane nari" (only when you can embroider your own choli with the embroidery stitch, will you be accepted as a woman).

So ih daat toh appa Sikh women nu babaji kolo mili hai..

There ifs difference between BAGH and PHULKARI
1. PHULKARI is just flower work but BAGH means Garden this means more work of flowers and plants..

2. Phulkari differs from bagh, as in the former larger portions of the base material are visible, the design being scattered. In the latter, the embroidery covers the surface so as to become the material itself.

baki BAGH kayee types de hunde ne one i know abt that is
- BAWAN BAGH- bawan MEANS 52.. Iihde vich different type de 52 patterns hunde ne and each 52 pattern is subdivided into 42-48 rectangles with different motif.

- Duja hunda "VARI DA BAGH"- Jehra kudi nu sohreya bvalo ditta janda..
- ik hor hunda CHOPE jehra kudi di grandmother ohde birht toh baad kadhna shuru kar dinde ne..jehnu oh wedding vale din sir utte lendi hundi c..I will do the same.. :pagel:
