Hazara Phulkari

Phulkari are silk embroidered cotton or linen shawls of the Punjab area and its vicinities. The area includes a diverse population and one can differentiate the phulkaris into subgroups. The Hindu phulkaris feature figural and animal elements while the Muslim ones have a more abstract design with embroidery that covers the entire ground.
