Banas Banas, the store for authentic hand block printed fabrics and crafts Hand Block printing tells the stories of human hands behind each product, their pride, labor, skill and individuality;These craftsmen create their imagination – their poetry, on cloth. To print a six yard cloth takes a combination of six-seven or more designs in four-five or more colours, handling multiple blocks and stamping inumerable times with perfect placement and precision. The origin of printing on cloth with wooden blocks is difficult to trace but India has been renowned for its printed and dyed cotton cloth since the 12th century and the creative processes flourished as the fabric received royal patronage. Different styles of designs have evolved in different parts of the country – Ajrak in Gujrat, Kalamkari in Andhra Pradesh, Bagru in Rajasthan and so on.
