Traditional Bagru Print Sarees Online Collection

History of Bagru Prints and Craft Process

Bagru prints, originating from Bagru, a small village near Jaipur, Rajasthan, are a testament to India’s centuries-old craft traditions. Known for their earthy tones and intricate floral and geometric patterns, these prints are created using natural dyes and a unique mud-resist hand-block printing technique called "Dabu."

The process begins with preparing the fabric using clay, lime, and water, followed by applying intricate designs using hand-carved wooden blocks. Artisans then treat the fabric with natural dyes like indigo, pomegranate rind, and turmeric, creating vibrant yet eco-friendly prints. Sun drying and multiple washes ensure the colors’ longevity and vibrancy, making each Bagru saree a masterpiece.

Bagru prints are cherished globally for their timeless appeal and sustainable production methods, supporting artisan communities and preserving a rich cultural heritage.
