Mor Bagh- This Bagh or ‘a Garden of glowers’ from East Punjab is embroidered with bright golden yellow, pink, blue and mint green silk threads and white cotton threads. The embroidery uses soft, untwisted floss silk yarn called ‘pat’ in Punjabi and this is done on a handspun and handwoven coarse cotton fabric dyed with red pigments. Popular since the 15th century, Phulkari and Bagh adopted various styles and patterns that differed according to their purpose and content. This particular Bagh is called the Mor Bagh on which a single motif of a rustic peacock and another bird sitting on it, is embroidered all over the field in a number of bands. Darning stitches in various lengths are used like crayons on a canvas that fill vibrancy into the fabric. In order to ward off the influence of the evil eye, the embroiderer has purposefully made three patterns in the corner, different to the rest, to give an impression of her imperfection. However, the mastery is evident in the layout, where she has embroidered the birds upside down on the other half of the fabric, so that when it is worn over the shoulder it looks the same on either side. Art on textiles like this, ceased to exist after Partition of India and Pakistan due to various factors. Hence, these pieces hold great traditional value among the people of Punjab.
