About
A refined hand-block textile printing tradition on a white or off-white base, known for delicate, closely-set floral sprig patterns (buttis) printed using intricately carved wooden blocks, dating back to the 16th century.
Did you know? Sanganeri printing is distinguished from its cousin craft Bagru by its use of a light background and fine, densely packed motifs — while Bagru, from a nearby town, favours darker earthy backgrounds, making the two easy for experts to tell apart at a glance.
