]]> Batik printing is a form of textile art wherein a piece cloth is decorated by covering it with a coat of wax and then dyeing it. The word ‘Batik’ means ‘wax writing’ and its journey through the ages proves that it is more than just a handicraft. In the small village of Mundra, Kutch, Gujarat, the art Batik printing has been handed down through generations and is still a main source of income for the people living here. These Batik prints feature a three-dimensional look with traditionally inspired motifs representing various folk scenes and deities, nature elements such as birds, flowers, bees, leaves, and several other more complex geometrical designs. These prints give the impression of a kaleidoscopic dream as they imbibe the colours of the universe and patterns of nature.
