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.
Trees, creepers,
flowers, leaf and birds are some of the famous motifs, kalamkari patch work
over the fabric is fashion and in demand. Glossy kalamkari printing on south
pure cotton saris is a very refreshing. It is worn whole day. It is well
appealing kalamkari hand painted on bomkai cotton sarees is a very
eye-catching.
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.
