Bagru Hand-Block Print

Bagru hand-block printing derives its name from one of the most famous centers of hand-block printing in Rajasthan, Bagru. The Chhipa community is known for practicing this artisanal skill for over 350 years.

In this process of dyeing, a plain bright fabric is tinted yellow using Harda powder first. The base color of the fabric is usually shades of white, cream, and beige.

Then, natural colors such as red, and black are used for printing using carved wooden blocks.

More the blocks used, more detailed are the designs.
