Today, let's know some unknown facts about a few of India's most well-known prints.

Bandhani

Bandhani has its roots in Rajasthan and Gujrat. It is one of the most ancient prints that you
can think of, coming straight from the times of the Harappan civilization.
The name originates from the Sanskrit word 'Bandhan'. Little pulses and grams are tied into
the fabric and the fabric is decorated by plucking the cloth with fingernails into minuscule
bindings.

Patola

Patola originated in the Patan region of Gujarat and is said to have flourished in the
12th century under the support of the Solanki Rajputs, one of the ruling communities
of Gujarat and Rajasthan in the 12th century A.D. Patolas are quite expensive owing to
their complex method of manufacturing. Every thread is separately dyed and has to be
arranged in a proper order to create a beautiful rhythmic pattern. Each community in
Gujarat has contributed a unique quality or characteristic to the Patola saree.

Batik

Batik The word Batik has been derived from the Indonesian word Ambatik.

This 2000-year-old art form originating in India is quite a common print on fabrics in

Japan, India, Malaysia and Indonesia. Batik is well-known for its floral motifs on a soothing

earthy palette with pops of contrasting colour.

Kalamkari

The word Kalamkari is of Persian origin. It translates into ‘The art of drawing with a pen’.
In ancient India, many artisans, musicians, storytellers, actors and craftsmen travelled across
the villages and entertained people with their exquisite tales based on mythology, local
folklore etc. These stories were drawn out in herbal colours made out of

Natural extracts on textiles.
These days you get to see abstract designs, floral and animal motifs tediously drawn by
artists over months or years.

Every fabric that is woven or created by the craftsmen goes through a beautiful journey
and tells us the tales of toil or hard work which the experts have gone
through to bring it to life. Are you fond of ethnic Indian prints as well?
