The most treasured and time honoured techniques of block printing from Jaipur are the Sanganer and Bagru techniques of Block Printing.
While they are both traditional block prints, they can be distinguished based on the colour schemes and design styles.
Sanganeri prints date back to over 500 years and gained immense popularity during the 16th-17th century when the East India Company began exporting them to European countries.
The artisans of Sanganer employ a special technique called 'calico printing' where the outlines are first printed, then filled in and repeated in diagonal sections.
The characteristic trait of this technique is that it uses a pure white base fabric on which delicate and detailed floral trellis patterns are printed. The finesse and intricacy of the foliage prints (buttas) are inspired by the vibrant and vivid roses, lotuses, sunflowers, lilies and marigolds.
