Which of the following is the traditional embroidery from Punjab ?

  • A.Kantha
  • B.Kasuti
  • C.Phulkari
  • D.Kashida

Answer: C

The traditional embroidery of Punjab is Phulkari.

Phulkari, meaning 'flower work', is done with untwisted silk floss in darning stitch on the reverse of coarse khaddar, often covering the whole shawl or odhni with bright geometric and floral patterns.

Kantha is the running-stitch quilted embroidery of Bengal, Kasuti is the counted-thread embroidery of Karnataka, and Kashida is the embroidery of Kashmir.
