Dabu Printing is an age old ethnic tradition that
has stood the test of time as a unique way of dyeing and printing. Practised
mostly in Rajasthan, it has churned out extraordinary fabrics of brilliant
colours and mind-blowing designs that have left modern pundits dumbstruck.

The seemingly
ordinary process of Dabu Printing
Dabu printing is a unique art form. This mud-resist
hand-block printing is practiced mostly in the state of Rajasthan, India.
Cotton is received in large bundles for dyeing and printing. Based on the
order, the bundles are opened out and different sizes are measured and cut
based on the fabric. Sarees would have 7 metres, dupattas 2.5 metres and so on.
Each fabric is pre-washed and soaked for about 24 hours to remove starch, oil,
dust, or any other contaminants which could prevent proper dyeing and printing.
Then the fabric is block printed with dabu, and laid to dry in the sun. Once
the mud is dry, the fabric is immersed in a dye, and again laid to dry in the
sun. The process could sometimes be repeated for repeated dabu printing on top
of the dyed fabric to create further layers of resist and again dye it in
darker shades of the dye. Finally the fabric is washed to remove all traces of
the dabu mud, revealing the resist area to be the original colour. The fabric
is again dried in the sun and is ready to be packaged and sold.
Dabu Prints
– an eco-friendly tradition
Dabu printed
cotton sarees undergo a rigorous process that involves a
lot of not so easily available and costly natural dyes and vegetable pastes.
Printed motifs like boota (corn stalk), surajmukhi or sunflower, animals and
geometrical patterns are popular subjects. Pure cotton
sarees, pure silk sarees, chiffon sarees, crepe silk
sarees, designer
georgette sarees and designer
supernet sarees are the different fabrics that have good
results with Dabu prints.
