PRODUCT DETAILS

Special Technique/Craft:
Kalamkari is a type of hand-painted or block-printed cotton textile, wherein motifs are inspired by the folklore and are hand-painted using the tool of kalam directly onto the fabric. The process involves washing, rinsing, soaking and bleaching the fabric and applying mordants and dyes using natural substances like indigo (blue), madder (red), mango bark (yellow) and palm sugar (black). Painting on the fabric is done with a kalam, charcoal and myrobalan paste.
