Block Printing in Bagru

Just outside Jaipur lies the village of Bagru, famous for its natural dye block printing and the 'Bagru' print. Visiting this village is a journey into the heart of sustainable fashion.

You can watch the 'Chhipa' community at work, washing fabrics in the sun, mixing natural colors from indigo, turmeric, and pomegranate, and rhythmically stamping the cloth with wooden blocks. It is a labor-intensive art form passed down through generations.

Workshops allow you to try your hand at printing a scarf or napkin. It deepens your appreciation for handmade textiles and supports the local artisan ecosystem.
