Ustad Ghulam Rasool oversees a premier guild of embroidery karigars in the heart of Lucknow. Combining the micro-needlework of white-on-white Chikankari (tepchi, murri, and jali stitches) with real metallic bullion wire Zardozi on raw silk, his atelier crafts some of the subcontinent's most coveted bridal trousseau silhouettes.
