What Is Bagru Print Fabric?
Bagru printing is one of India's oldest block printing traditions and originated in Rajasthan. Craftsmen print designs on cotton by hand with carved wooden blocks. Bagru is known for its natural dyes and handprints, which blend traditional hand-made textiles with contemporary style.
Bagru prints are generally made on white, ivory or coffee-coloured backgrounds. The main colours are black, red and maroon, which come from natural sources. Natural plant dyes such as indigo, pomegranate and turmeric are used to add colourful patterns and designs. A well-known Bagru technique is Dabu, a mud-resist method where a mud paste keeps the dye off parts of the fabric.
