This craft is widely practiced in regions like Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh, where artisans have honed their skills over centuries. The iconic Kutch region of Gujarat, for example, is famous for its meticulous printing techniques that often reflect the region’s vibrant culture.

The dupatta is a timeless symbol of grace in Indian fashion. Originating in ancient India, it has been a staple accessory for women across various regions.
