Reference to chikankari can be found in the 3rd century BC. A popular folklore talks about a traveller asking a poor peasant for water while passing through a village near Lucknow. The traveller was touched by the peasants hospitality and to show his gratitude he taught him the art of chikankari so as to ensure the peasant would never go hungry. The traveller is believed to be a prophet by the craftsmen.
