Chikan
Chikan is a decorative technique from India, which became particularly popular due to the patronage of the Nawabs of Oudh (with Lucknow being the capital) in the nineteenth century. It is often also known as chikankâri (' chikan-work'). Its origins are shrouded in history, but it may well have originated in the Mughal period.
