    Story Behind the Art:
    'I come from the magical world of embroidery in Lucknow, renowned for the exquisite 'chikankari' style, which continues to inspire me,' confides Shalabh. 'I have a small group of people helping me, as well as my wife. I would say, it's not an art which is all that easy. It needs a lot of dedication and determination.'
