Chikankari is Awadh’s shaan aur maan and the love for this exigent art-form has been throbbing in every Lakhnavi’s nostalgia since generations! The versatility of chikankari is simply unparalleled- opt for light flowy kurtas during day time or don an intricately woven saree for a party; chikan comes in handy during all occasions.
Keeping up with the cavernous legacy of chikankari in the city is the well-famed Banarsi Das & Sons, who aren’t new contenders in the market! Nestled at Lucknow’s Gol Darwaza, this chikan store has been presenting us with a divergent range of chikan apparels since 1957.

The Inception!
The firm was established by Kanhiya Lal Mahendru and passed on to his sons in 1988; thenceforth, Rajiv Mahendru has been looking after the manufacturing unit and the production of this store. The business was started with a meager sum of money; nevertheless, it gradually proliferated as a brand to reckon with in Lucknow.
