Hand Block Printing On Textiles Refers To The Technique By Which Carved Wooden Blocks Covered With Dye Are Repeatedly Pressed Along A Length Of Cloth To Create Patterns. The Beginnings Of The Art Of Ornamenting Textile Fabrics By The Stamping Or Printing On Of Coloured Designs Are Lost In Antiquity. The Traditional Process Of Hand Block Printing On Textiles, With Rich Natural Colors, Has Been Practiced In Rajasthan For Around 500 Years. Block Printing Was Introduced To The Jaipur Region Of Rajasthan By The Chhipa Community. This Community Was Originally Located In Bagru Village, An Area Now Famous For Its Vegetable Dye And Mud Resist (dabu) Block Prints. The Art Of Block Printing Has Been Passed Down For Generations Within Families And Communities And Has Branched Out In Recent Decades To Other Regions Such As Sanganer, Just South Of Jaipur. In Traditional Bagru Style Block Printing, The ‘recipes’ For The Traditional Plant-based Dyes Are Developed Within Each Family And Kept Alive From Generation To Generation. The Colors Are Dependent On The Quality Of The Plants, The Water And Skill And Knowledge Of The Printing Masters.
