Chikankari sarees feature a variety of traditional motifs inspired by nature and Mughal architecture. Some of the most popular patterns include:

  • Floral motifs – Roses, lotuses, and jasmine flowers are commonly embroidered on the fabric.
  • Paisley designs – Intricate paisley motifs add a regal touch to Chikankari sarees.
  • Geometric patterns – Symmetrical and repetitive geometric designs create a visually appealing effect.

  • Footwear: Opt for embroidered juttis, kolhapuris, or sleek stilettos to complement the saree.
