A reference to phulkari in literature comes from Guru Nanak Devji who 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).

The word phulkari (below) conjures up happy memories of the old Punjab, which stretched from Peshawar to Delhi and Ladakh to Multan.



It brings to mind several visions of the life of a Punjabi woman of yesteryears: embroidering her phulkari for her wedding and spinning cotton on a painted charkha; the elaborate ceremonies of her marriage with the wedding phulkari draped over her; going out to the fields with a pot of butter-milk and corn-flakes on her head, dressed in a full yellow skirt with a black kurta and richly embroidered phulkari covering her from head to knee; the birth of her sons and daughters and the beginning of embroidering phulkari for the distant but happy occasions of their marriages; and on her death, when she is lifted on a bier by her sons, covered with a red phulkari, the symbol of a happy end, of prosperity, of fulfilment
The word phulkari literally means "flowered work". Its exact origin is not known. Sir Denzil Ibbetson in his Punjabi Ethnography, published in 1883, remarks that the tract where the best phulkari work was found was originally inhabited by Hindu Jats, who were afterwards conquered by Mohammedan tribes. Another conjecture is that the art was brought by Gujar nomads from Central Asia. It may also have some association with the gulkari of Iran which was practised there till very recently.
