The Heart behind Manjari
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 modern lifestyles — celebrating timeless beauty through the language of handmade art.

Moments with Manjari
“Everyone loved the suit. My 86-year-old mother received so many compliments when she wore it—rather, I received them on her behalf! She looked graceful, comfortable, and absolutely beautiful.”
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.
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.
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.
I am so happy to take this beautiful Saree from you. Wearing it
Got so much appreciation and praises for the saree from my acquaintances and friends. The fabric and the embroidery is jut awesome
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.
