Making of Bagru Print Fabric

A lot of preparation goes into achieving these charming prints on the fabric.

The fabric to be printed is first dyed naturally; blue is obtained from the indigo plant, grey from alum, black from iron waste or old horseshoes, and red from Indian madder. This fabric is soaked in a solution of clay, water, and non-toxic chemicals to obtain a specified level of softness before being dried and set out for printing. The wooden blocks are also soaked in oil overnight before being carefully cleansed.

Although nature-inspired themes typically distinguish Bagru prints, geometric patterns such as checks, triangles, and grids are also prominent, which is why they are frequently compared to Dabu prints.

Usually, Dark (or coloured) designs are used on cream or dyed backgrounds in traditional Bagru prints. However, with the advent of innovation, the colour palette has expanded, as has the span of the patterns. Earlier printers used to sit on the floor and work on low tables; today, they usually stand while working at six-meter-long tables.

History of Bagru Print Fabric

The town of Bagru, in Rajasthan, is widely acknowledged as the focal point of the captivating Bagru hand block prints.

According to folklore, the craft of Bagru printing began almost 500 years ago. The Chhipa community from Sawai Madhopur, Alwar, Jhunjhuna, and Sikkar districts of Rajasthan settled in Bagru along the banks of the Sanjariya River in Rajasthan as its clay is best suited for hand block printing. These natural settings distinguish Bagru block printing; the climate, the water, the wind and the dust, the plants in the dyes and the wood in the blocks.
