Origin and the story behind its name- The
earliest instance of this hand-block printing
technique known as "Sanganeri" was in the town
of Sanganer, which is located in the southern
part of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Almost five centuries
old, this type of textile printing continues to
be highly valued by weavers and other artisans.

printing others include Bagru, Akola, Barmer,
and Jodhpur. The unique characteristics of this
type of printing technology are delicate
patterns and lines with vivid colourful patterns.

The Making of Sanganeri Print- This straight
forward procedure begins with washing, is
followed by marking, printing, and culminates
with dying and washing. Additionally, artists
typically employ blocks with designs etched on
them to produce the stunning Sanganeri print on
fabric. These blocks can be constructed of metal
or wood. The fabric was originally printed
primarily for royal families and wealthy
traders, but it is now utilised in apparel for
urban households and is exported.
Sanganeri Print Modern Day Sarees, dupattas,
salwar-kameez, bed covers, curtains, scarves
etc. are among the main commodities printed. It
uses both domestic and foreign textiles.
Currently, Jaipur is the source for "mulmu"
(cotton voile), "latha" (sheeting textiles), and
cambric, among other materials. Background
colours used on Sanganeri "chintz" (printed
fabric) are often yellow, green, and blue (in
various tones). Nowadays, it's uncommon to find
the wide range of colours that made up the
original Sanganeri "chintz," but they still make
"chhips" because they have an unmatched talent
for matching the background perfectly.
Designs and Motifs- The designs and patterns
utilised in Sanganeri print come in a wide range
of styles, with the most common floral motifs
being those of the sunflower, rose, and
narcissus. Along with flowers, other popular
motifs include those showing various gods,
fruits, and traditional sceneries. The curves
and patterns mostly represent Sanganer's native
flora and wildlife.

print has also grown in importance on a global
scale since it is lightweight, comfortable to
