Gulshan - Ek Taar Chikankari Dupatta with Haath Jaali

A rare expression of Lucknow’s most refined hand embroidery traditions, this Ek Taar Chikankari Dupatta with Haath Jaali represents the pinnacle of artisanal skill and patience.
Hand embroidered using the Ek Taar (single-thread) Chikankari technique, the dupatta features a delicate all-over floral jaal created with remarkable fineness and consistency. Each motif is worked using a single continuous thread, requiring extraordinary control and mastery a hallmark of the rarest and most time-intensive forms of Lucknowi Chikankari.
Interspersed within the embroidery are sections of Haath Jaali (hand-cut needle lace), where the fabric itself is painstakingly drawn and manipulated by hand to create a lace-like effect without the use of any net or machine. This technique is considered one of the most difficult and prestigious elements of traditional Chikankari, practiced today by only a handful of master artisans.
Rendered in soft, soothing pastel hues on a light base, the embroidery feels airy, elegant, and timeless. The surface remains lightweight and breathable while displaying remarkable depth and texture making this dupatta an heirloom piece of quiet luxury rather than ornamentation.
