Jaipur suburb famous for Sanganeri hand block printing — fine florals on white grounds — and handmade paper.
Sanganer, on Jaipur's southern edge near the airport, is one of Rajasthan's two great hand block-printing centres. Sanganeri prints use mostly direct printing of fine, delicate floral motifs on white or off-white cloth, historically washed in the local river. Visitors can see printing workshops and buy fabric, bedspreads and garments. For context on the craft, the Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing (in Amer, not Sanganer) documents block printing.
