Village about 30 km from Jaipur known for dabu mud-resist and natural-dye block printing on dark indigo, rust and black grounds.
Bagru is a printing village roughly 30 km southwest of Jaipur, home to Chhipa printer families. It is known for dabu, a mud-resist technique in which a paste of clay, gum, lime and chaff is block-printed onto cloth before dyeing, leaving a speckled pattern. Natural dyes include syahi black (iron and jaggery), madder red, indigo and turmeric yellow. Bagru prints use darker grounds and bolder geometric motifs than Sanganer.
