swadeshi Block Print

Bagru prints are a traditional form of block printing that originated in the town of Bagru, Rajasthan, India. The art form is known for its intricate floral and geometric designs, which are printed on natural fabrics such as cotton and wool using natural dyes. Bagru prints have a long history, dating back to the 16th century. The art form was originally used to create garments for the royal families of Rajasthan. However, over time, it became more popular with the general public, and is now used to create a wide range of products, including sarees, dresses, scarves, home décor items, and more. The Bagru printing process is a complex and time-consuming one. It begins with the creation of wooden blocks, which are carved with the desired designs. The blocks are then dipped in natural dyes and stamped onto the fabric. The fabric is then dried and washed, and the process is repeated until the desired color and intensity is achieved.
