DHABU PRINT

Dabu print, also known as "Mud Resist" printing, is a traditional Indian hand-block printing technique from Rajasthan. It involves applying a mud and gum mixture to fabric to resist dye, creating intricate patterns. The process includes preparing the fabric, applying the mud with wooden blocks or stencils, drying, and dyeing, often using natural dyes like indigo and madder. Typically done on cotton or silk, Dabu print is labor-intensive, making each piece unique. Passed down through generations, this heritage craft showcases India's rich textile tradition and skilled artistry, making it highly valued.
