This bagh, embroidered using belan motifs on the entire field and laharia on the ‘pallu’ – border, is an artifact characteristic of western Punjab. It might be classified as belan bagh. Unlike those from eastern Punjab the ladies of the western part used white in abundance. Apart, they used soft colours like orange, yellow or magenta. Motifs which they used were simpler and their range not as large as was in eastern part.
