The Chikankari Jaali stitch

The Jaali stitch in Chikankari, renowned for its intricate lattice pattern, draws its inspiration from the architectural screens of Mughal palaces. These elegant screens, or jaalis, were crafted to permit the flow of light and air while ensuring privacy, creating a beautifully filtered ambience within the regal interiors.

The Jaali stitch emulates these architectural masterpieces by incorporating similar geometric patterns into fabric. This stitch not only enhances the visual appeal with its delicate and precise design but also infuses textiles with a sense of royal grandeur.
