Film by Sambaditya Raj
In the interior of Rajasthan state, at a distance of 30 kms from Jaipur, on Jaipur - Ajmer road there lies a small typical village called ‘Bagru’. The village town is not popular for any palace or fort but for keeping alive the three-centuries-old tradition of printing with the splendid efforts of artisans. It is unique for its indigenous style of printing with natural colours and wooden blocks known as ‘Bagru printing’.
