The
kalamkari work is well known in Andhra. This particular work is done on the
fabric or saris.
Kalamkari is
an art of hand-painting or block printing on fabric. There are two different
centers of kalamkari art one is Sri kalahasti and the other is Machilipatam the
state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The dyes used in this painting are natural
dyes. This particular art is beautifully done on various fabrics like cotton,
silk, georgette, chiffon, crape and supernet.

The
independence came a new interest in the traditional crafts of India. The All
India Handicrafts Board set out to revive many of these crafts. The
Masulipatnam is a very old place for this type of printing blocks lay hidden
away unused.
The
glossiness of this particular cotton fabric by immersing it for an hour in a
mixture of myrabalam (resin) and cow milk is one of the procedures. The soaked
bamboo is a mixture of jagri fermented and water. One by one these are applied
then on the fabric through vegetable dyes. After applying, each color, the
kalamkari is washed. Thus each fabric can undergo up to 20 washings. The various effects are obtained by using cow
dung, seeds, plants and crushed flowers.
The
kalamkari is a word that runs through the history of Indian Textiles from the
beginnings as a simple folkcraft through both great and bad times down to its
revival today. Kalam comes from the Persian language that means pen and Kari
means work. Actually the name came into being with the Muslim influences coming
into India, the technique is very old.
The beginning
of kalamkari probably rest in south India and grew out of the need to further
develop some of the temple rituals. The pichhwais (cloth back Drops of Shrines)
of Rajasthan and Gujarat are kalamkari. This are particularly painted cloth
used as decorations for the shrines of Krishna in his appearance as Srinathji
in Rajasthan.
The actual
kalamkari technique is very complicated and time consuming. In some reasons it
is taken several days to produce a cloth and in others several weeks. The
quality of the piece depends upon the factors, not the least of which is the
quality of the water used and the availability of the local minerals to be used
as mordants.
