You always thought that Chikan was the only craft that made Lucknow so popular, but there is more to Lucknow’s embroidery expertise than just chikan.
Mukaish embroidery also known as Mokaish, Mukeish or Mukesh is a type of embroidery done in Lucknow. This type of embroidery involves twisting thin metallic threads to create patterns all over the fabric. Although the most common pattern is dots, other patterns are also created in Mukesh work. This form of embroidery can be done on all kinds of clothing items, right from sarees and salwar kameez to shirts, tunics, kurtis and more. Currently, this type of embroidery is considered a dying craft as there aren’t many karigars (craftsmen) invested in the creation of Mukaish work garments any more.
