ABOUT THE CRAFT ~

Royal Patronage Block printing in Rajasthan flourished under the Mughal emperors, who adored rich floral textiles for their courts.

Persian Influence The signature motifs—lush vines, cypress trees, lotus blossoms—were inspired by Persian gardens and Mughal miniature paintings.

Amer’s Contribution The town of Amer, near Jaipur, became a hub for block printers who supplied cloth for both royalty and temple rituals.

Architectural Echoes Many Mughal block motifs mirror the inlay designs and jali patterns seen in Mughal palaces and tombs.

Soft Like Air The fabrics were usually made of fine ‘mulmul’ (muslin), prized for its softness and breathability in the desert heat.

Wooden Blocks as Heirlooms Printing blocks were hand-carved from teak or sheesham wood and often passed down for generations.
