Bagru, a small village in Rajasthan, 35 kilometres from Jaipur, is known for its hand block printing utilising traditional processes and natural colours. Block printing is still practiced by the Chippa community, who have lived here for over 400 years.
As this Indian cloth is handmade and handprinted, it is susceptible to irregularities in the weave or print: these are part of its charm and are not classed as flaws.
