Punjab, the land of astounding and vibrant culture, is known for its unique handwoven and hand embroidered textiles all over the world - Phulkari being the most iconic of all.

Stories are inherent in these textiles - stories of their owners, makers, communities, lifestyle, work-life experiences, occupations, and more. Stories, if honest and real, have the power to transcend generations and spark a connection between them. They provide a powerful and timeless link to family and cultural traditions. Hence, preserving the stories of legendary phulkari assigns meaning to their history and existence.

Sareekah Agarwaal, through her paper titled Cultural Stories in Textile Traditions of Punjab: Why Storytelling Matters? argues that documenting the narratives of their owners/makers and bringing them to the readers can help witness how the womenfolk of Punjab has played a crucial role in bringing a social change and build community through their handicraft.
