2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship – Brief History
Bagru printing traces back over 400 years to the Chippa community of Rajasthan, who perfected the art of natural dyeing and hand-block printing using wooden blocks carved with floral, geometric, and paisley motifs. Traditionally dyed with indigo, pomegranate, turmeric, and madder root, these prints reflect harmony with nature. At Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi, we honor this heritage by collaborating directly with artisan clusters to revive authentic Bagru prints—blending tradition with contemporary silhouettes for the modern Indian woman.
