Weaving Stories Through Threads and Time
Naqsh-e-Lucknow is a creative digital project that celebrates the timeless elegance of Chikankari embroidery, the heart and heritage of Lucknow.
Born from a passion for culture and storytelling, this platform is designed by Vanshika Singh, a digital marketing student who believes that every stitch tells a story — one of tradition, artistry, and identity.
Our Vision
To preserve, promote, and present Lucknow’s Chikankari in a way that connects generations — from the artisans who create it to the admirers who cherish it.
Naqsh-e-Lucknow aims to become a digital archive of emotions, where craft meets creativity and tradition meets technology.
Our Story
The idea behind Naqsh-e-Lucknow began with a simple thought — how can we use digital platforms to keep heritage alive?
Chikankari, once a royal embroidery from the Mughal courts, now thrives in the narrow lanes of Lucknow. But beyond the fabrics and stitches lies a story of hands that weave hope, of art passed down like heirlooms, and of a city that breathes culture.
Through this project, we aim to give Chikankari the digital space it deserves — through visuals, research, blogs, reels, and creative content that bring its elegance to modern eyes.
What We Do
At Naqsh-e-Lucknow, we create:
Cultural Content: Articles, blogs, and visuals that explore the art, origin, and artisans of Chikankari.
Digital Storytelling: Short videos, reels, and posts that showcase the essence of Lucknowi craft.
Creative Campaigns: Designed as part of a digital marketing initiative to merge culture with modern branding.
Every piece of content is crafted with the same patience and beauty as a Chikankari motif — slow, detailed, and full of meaning.
Our Philosophy
We believe that heritage is not something to preserve in museums — it should live, breathe, and inspire.
Naqsh-e-Lucknow is a tribute to every artisan, every design, and every moment that keeps the art of Chikankari alive.
Our approach is rooted in three words:
Naqsh (Imprint) – every design tells a story.
Tehzeeb (Culture) – every thread holds grace.
Riwaayat (Tradition) – every creation connects us to history.
