FAQ (Frequently Asked Question):
Ques: How do I identify a genuine Bagru print saree?
Ans: Look for slight imperfections, overlaps, or subtle smudges in the pattern. Machine prints are perfectly uniform; genuine hand block prints have the charm of human touch. Bagru prints typically use earthy tones on an off-white or dyed background.
Ques: What is the 'Dabu' technique used in Bagru prints?
Ans: Dabu is a mud-resist block printing technique. A paste of clay and natural gum is applied to parts of the fabric before dyeing. When washed off, these covered parts remain un-dyed, creating sharp patterns and highlighting the dye-resistant process.
Ques: What occasions are suitable for wearing Bagru Hand Block Print Sarees?
Ans: They are highly versatile. Cotton Bagru sarees are perfect for daily wear, office, and casual outings. Bagru Modal Silk or Silk Sarees are ideal for festive events, pujas, formal gatherings, and summer weddings.
Ques: What is the significance of Bagru printing in Indian culture?
Ans: It is a centuries-old craft preserved by the Chippa community of Rajasthan. Its significance lies in its use of traditional, eco-friendly natural dyes and motifs inspired by the local flora and fauna, making it a key part of India's textile heritage.
Ques: Are Bagru prints eco-friendly and done with natural dyes?
Ans: Yes, traditionally they are highly eco-friendly. Bagru is renowned specifically for using natural, vegetable-based dyes (like Indigo, Madder, and Turmeric) and for its minimal use of chemical agents, promoting sustainable fashion.
Ques: How long does the Bagru hand block printing process take?
Ans: It is a time-intensive process that typically takes 7 to 14 days from preparing the fabric and carving the block to final washing and drying. This duration is due to the multiple steps of printing, dyeing, and drying required for colors to set naturally.
