How Dabka Work Embroidery is Done
Dabka uses tightly coiled metallic wire (resembling a spring). The artisan cuts the coil to required lengths and stitches each piece flat or raised onto the fabric. The coiled wire creates a distinctive textured, three-dimensional effect. Often combined with Zardozi and Mukaish for multi-layered designs.
History & Heritage
A refined subset of Zardozi, Dabka evolved in Lucknow's royal workshops where craftsmen experimented with different metallic materials. It became synonymous with opulent wedding attire and ceremonial garments.
