The Gangetic plains, Uttar Pradesh and specially Lucknow, in particular have been he home and stronghold of this simple and dignified art. The origin of word chikan has not been traced. Perhaps it is a corrupt form of the word chicken or sequin, a coin valued at about Rs.4, which was current in several Indian ports.
