Chikankari Artistry Shines: Naseem Bano Honored with Padma Shri

Naseem Bano, the master of Chikankari embroidery, received a well-deserved honor as she was conferred with the prestigious Padma Shri award. A beacon of traditional craftsmanship, Bano’s recognition at the Rashtrapati Bhavan ceremony is a testament to her dedication and skill.

With gratitude in her heart, Bano expressed, “Receiving this award fills me with immense happiness.” Raised in a family steeped in Chikankari tradition, she learned the art from her father, Hasan Mirza, and has since become a luminary in the field.

Driven by a passion to preserve and pass on her craft, Bano’s vision extends beyond her own accolades. She aspires to nurture the next generation of artisans, ensuring the legacy of Chikankari thrives for years to come.

Among the esteemed recipients at the ceremony, veteran singer Usha Uthup was also honored with the Padma Bhushan, underscoring the diversity of talent celebrated by the Padma Awards.

As Naseem Bano and her fellow awardees shine brightly on India’s cultural stage, their contributions serve as a testament to the nation’s rich artistic heritage.
