Sanganeri Hand-Block Print

Sanganeri hand-block printing originated from Sanganer village in the southern part of Jaipur, Rajasthan. It is almost 5 centuries old and holds a prominent place in the world of artisans. This dyeing process gradually became significant in European culture as well. Sanganeri printed cloths are typically found with yellow, green, and blue colors. Designs include impressions of paisley, flowers, buds, leaves, Keri (mango), Paan (betel leaf), Katar (dagger), and Jhumka (ear-ring). There are many innovations in these designs and colors today. The wooden blocks are used to hand-print the design on the fabric directly. As more and more blocks are used, colors and designs start becoming more detailed.
