The Welta Chikankari Story

From a single thread to an heirloom.

Every Welta piece passes through five pairs of hands in the old by-lanes of Lucknow — nothing rushed, nothing machine-made.

Discover the process

The skyline of Lucknow — domes and minarets of the old city of Awadh.

Awadh · Lucknow

Where every thread begins.

नक्शा तयारीDesign & Block Carving

धुलाईWashing & Drying
फिनिशिंगThread Trimming & Finishing

01 · Design & Block Carving
The naqsha-band draws the motif; the chhapa karigar carves it into a seasoned wooden block with fine chisels — days of work to perfect one design.
3–7 days per block
02 · Block Printing
The block is dipped in a washable blue dye and pressed onto the cloth — laying down the guideline pattern the needle will follow. The precision of chhapai decides the final beauty.
Cotton · Georgette · Mul
03 · Hand Embroidery
Stretched on the adda frame, the karigar embroiders each motif by hand — from bakhiya shadow work to raised murri knots and open jaali. The soul of the craft.
40–90 hours per piece
04 · Washing & Drying
The finished cloth is washed by hand at the river bank until every trace of the blue guideline dissolves away, then hung to dry in the open sun. Only the white embroidery remains.
River wash · sun-dried
05 · Thread Trimming & Finishing
Every loose thread is trimmed by hand, each stitch inspected, the jaali cleaned. Any mukaish or badla accents go on last. The piece is ready — an heirloom, born of patience.
