Abstract

This study intended to examine the traditional folk art of Punjabi Phulkari bagh along with its revival in Multan. The Punjab Province has always been distinguished for its culture and heritage. Multan is considered the oldest city of South Asia. The area from Delhi to Afghanistan was of Punjab province of Indian Sub-continent. The art of traditional Phulkari was originally practiced solely by the women of Punjab. Phulkari has always played an important role in the lives of Punjabi girls. The technique of Phulkari passed from generation to generation, especially girls used to embroider their imaginary world, dreams, and aspirations onto a canvas of khaddar. Phulkari has been a precious gift meant for special family occasions, to welcome a newborn into the family or to gift the daughter during her nuptial ceremony. The designs and motifs are innumerable. This study will focus on the historical background of Phulkari and the variety of Bagh's.
