Jaipur is famous for its hand printed textiles. And we are here at Anokhi, museum of hand printing. And now we are going to take you around the museum. Tell us. What is Anokhi? Well Anokhi is actually translates as unique. And Anokhi is a company which creating hand blocked printing textiles. Hand block printing is very old craft in India. Probably up tp 4,000 years old, its a village craft. These are some very early Anokhi pieces from the Anokhi archives.
Hand block printing has got many regional styles and this is a particular regional style from Gujarat. This is printed by a community of people called Khatris and it is printed for the wear of by men of the muslim maldari cattle hurding community. Bakrus is a small community that is very famous for it is hand printing. And the traditional Bakru print is actually quite dark. And a [unintelligible] means a skirt length. And this is what the traditional Rajasthani woman would wear. And the motif and the colors used would, again, tell you who she is, what her occupation is, caste, community, marital status. The length of the skirt will tell you whether she works out of the house or she stays in the house.
So this is Majeed, he is a block carver. This is called the rake, this is the outline block. After he has carved this one, he will take the impression of this on to another piece of wood and he will start to carve the in fill colors. Traditionally hand block printing is quite a complex craft and it involves a couple of communities working in harmony. You have got the chippers who are the printers, the rongres who are the dyers and obviously the dhobi who are the watchmen. And what is involved in printing with natural dyes is quite a laborious process. This is sort of the interactive area where we have printing, where we have tools on the show, we have got dye materials on the show. It is really quite a skilled craft, it looks like potato printing. And the skill and the speed at which the printers work is actually amazing. This is Subhashish Bharuka showing you Jaipur.
