Derived from the term ‘kalam,’ meaning pen, ‘Kalamkari’ denotes a specific, intricate method of hand-painting on fabric. This age-old art form originated from what is now Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Originally, it served as a visual storyteller. Kalamkari art was used to depict tales from the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Bhagavatam. Today, it has become a timeless textile art.
In 2013, the Government of India officially acknowledged the Kalamkari art form by registering the Pedana Kalamkari style with the Geographical Indications Registry (GIR), safeguarding its distinctive heritage.
Creating a Kalamkari painting is a labour-intensive process that mirrors the intricacy of its designs. It involves 23 carefully executed steps. It starts with bleaching, softening, and sun-drying the fabric. Natural dyes are then prepared and mixed, and each colour is applied one at a time, with the fabric being rinsed thoroughly between layers to ensure precision.
