About Bagru Print:

Bagru print, a hallmark of Indian block printing from Rajasthan, especially around Jaipur's Bagru village, stands out for its centuries-old tradition maintained by the village. Artisans carve wooden blocks by hand, using them to stamp the fabric one color at a time, a testament to the dedication and time invested in each piece. The unique charm of Bagru prints, with their characteristic blurs, smudges, and pattern misalignments, reflects the warm essence of Indian craftsmanship.
