This craft embodies centuries-old traditions that bring intricate designs to life on fabric. Pipad block printing is celebrated for its bold motifs, often inspired by nature, and its earthy color palette, derived from natural dyes.

Natural dyes, sourced from plants, minerals, and even flowers, are an integral part of this eco-friendly craft. Pipad block printing is a testament to Rajasthan’s rich cultural heritage, passed down through generations of artisans.
