When it comes to block print outfits, Jaipur holds a special place in the country. The city is one of the large exporters of the outfits made with block printed fabrics. Sanganer and Bagru in Jaipur are known among the wholesalers from all over the country and even overseas as the best places to buy block printed fabrics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most popular outfits are kurtis and kurtas. Block printed bedsheets, pillow covers and drapes are also popular worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The block printed fabrics gained popularity during Mughal period in India, says Ekta Sharma from Kurti Fashion<\/a>, a website selling kurtis and kurtas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlock printing\nfrom Jaipur became immensely popular across the country. There are many\nfamilies here who have been involved in manufacturing block printed fabrics for\ngenerations,\u201d she adds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Bagru you\nwill find Syahi Begar and Dabu prints, two of the most popular block printing\ntechniques, while Sanganer is known for Calico and Doo Rookhi prints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from\nBagru and Sanganer, some other places in Rajasthan including Pali and Barmer\nare also known for block printing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlock\nprinting techniques is a technique of dyeing and colouring fabric with\nspecially designed wooden blocks. It takes a lot of time to prepare these\nblocks. Before these blocks are made with wood, the block printing artists use\nchalk paste or just draw the blocks on a piece of paper. It takes a couple of\nweeks to create wooden blocks from the chalk paste designs,\u201d said Gajendra Saini\nwho owns a kurti factory in Sanganer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blocks\nand then pressed on to the fabric with utmost precision and care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt really\ntakes a lot of effort to prepare multi-colour block printed fabrics as there would\nbe blocks for each colour. Only after a colour dries, another colour can be\napplied to the fabric. The process is slow,\u201d Saini adds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steaming,\ndrying, washing and ironing are also part of the printing process. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
