Throughout Rajasthan the flaming red and dazzling yellow of women’s odhnis, defiantly breaks the monotonous desert landscape. There is a saying that the fashioning of men’s turbans and the patters on the women’s skirts alters every twenty four miles. Rajasthani textiles come in an arresting range of hand – lock prints, tie & dye and embroidered fabrics. The super – light and painstakingly printed Kota Doria sarees are a rage with women during the hot summer season.
 

 


Block Printing
Rajasthan is the heartland of hand - block printing. The chief colour used is orange and red with floral prints in yellow and blue – black. The art of Khari or overprinting in gold is also practiced here. Today, traditional vegetable and mineral dyes are gradually being replaced ‘by chemical ones. Sanganeri prints command a huge demand from major fashion centres world – wide.

The town of Bagru excels in delightful circular designs in dark glowing vegetable colours – printed on bed spreads, table linen and clothes. Textiles printed here, have won the hearts of millions at home and abroad.

From the shimmering deserts of Barmer come the geometric Ajrak prints, in dark shades of blue and red for protection from the sun. Nathdwara scores high with its sarees, wraps, kerchiefs and quilt covers, in designs similar to the Pichwais made here.

The red, black and olive green, mosaic – like patterns of the Jajms of Chittaurgarh are used for women’s skirts & skirts & wraps and floor coverings.

 

 

Mirror work and Embroidery
Be it a turban, a flared skirt, a veil or a sari – the colour combinations are unusual and brilliant. The women of Rajasthan have mastered the art of embroidering fabrics. Embroidery practiced in Bikaner is done by counting threads. The use of double stitch method results in creating an effect on both sides, giving a semblance of bandhani. The women of Sikar and Jhunjhunu specialize in making patterns of animals. Chain stitch is popular in Alwar. Dancing figures, flowers, peacocks and Mandala, the tree of life are the trees of life are the favourite motifs. Women of Barmer use mirrors, thus enhancing the beauty of the embroidered piece. Other patterns such as the surface satin stitch, herringbone stitch and geometric styles are a specialty of Barmer.
