The Heart behind Manjari

Founder of Manjari Chikankari wearing a handcrafted Cgikankari Saree inspired by Lucknow's heritage

Manjari was born from my deep admiration for India’s handcrafted traditions and the timeless artistry of Lucknavi Chikankari. Having been born and brought up in Lucknow, I have grown up surrounded by the culture, grace, and intricate craftsmanship that the city is known for, and that connection continues to inspire everything we create at Manjari.

From thoughtfully chosen fabrics and delicate chapai to finely hand-embroidered details, every piece reflects generations of artistry, created with patience, authenticity, and care. While deeply rooted in heritage, our creations are thoughtfully refined for the contemporary woman — celebrating timeless beauty through the language of handmade art.

The Hands Behind Manjari

Moments with Manjari

Gifted it to my mother — she was in tears

Bought the organza silk saree as a Diwali gift for my mother. She said it reminded her of the sarees her mother used to wear. The chikankari border is so intricate. Will definitely be ordering again before the wedding season.

Finally a brand that understands real Lucknowi craftsmanship

I have been searching for authentic Lucknowi chikankari online for years. Manjari is the real deal — the stitchwork on my dupatta is absolutely stunning. It feels like something my nani would have worn but cut for today.

The men's kurta fit perfectly and looked royal

Wore the chikankari kurta to a family function in Jaipur and everyone asked where I got it. The fabric breathes so well in the heat and the embroidery does not fade even after washing. Great quality for the price.

Lightweight elegance, exactly what I needed


Ordered the Kotadoriya cotton saree for my cousin's mehendi and received so many compliments. The chikankari embroidery is so fine and delicate — you can tell real hands have worked on it. Packaging was beautiful too.
