Indian block printing

Indian block printing is a traditional textile craft where carved wooden blocks are used to imprint intricate patterns onto fabric. The artisan dips the carved blocks into dye or pigment and then carefully presses them onto cloth, creating repetitive, detailed designs. This method allows for precise, handcrafted patterns and is often used on cotton, silk, and other fabrics. The process preserves cultural motifs and techniques passed down through generations, resulting in unique, high-quality textiles cherished both locally and globally. It combines artistry and craftsmanship, reflecting India's rich textile heritage.
