| Ethnic
Fabrics - Bagru Prints |
| Bagru
is a name that is derived from the word "Bagora".
The fabric is dyed in the 'Harda' solution, which allows
dye to adhere to the fabric. The yellow dyed fabric is
then dried under ample sunshine so that it develops a
yellowish - beige color making the fabric ready for the
printing. |
| Bagru
prints can be distinguished by their wealthy color prints
and patterns. Using indigenous methods of dyeing and printing
beautiful colors such as, indigo blue, alizarin, bright
yellow etc. are informed to the cotton fabric. The 3 main
colors in Bagru include maroon, red and black. |
| Apart
from these base colors, natural vegetable dyes are used
to add colorful patterns and designs. These include madder,
indigo, pomegranate rind, turmeric, etc. Pigment colors
such as green, rust, blue, violet, brown, and pink are
added to appease wider markets. There is also a traditional
reason for picking a particular color in the designs,
such as indigo for Lord Krishna, saffron for a saint or
yogi, yellow for spring season, etc. Patterns engage geometric
patterns mixed with flora, bird and animal forms. |
