Printing and dyeing of cotton were originally developed in Rajasthan during the medieval period of India.
For India, block prints hold a place of pride—the age-old craft of dying and coloring a fabric using wooden blocks has been perfected over generations. Whether it is Rajasthan's popular Dabu print, which uses the mud printing technique, or Gujarat's Ajrakh, featuring geometric motifs, each block print is symbolic of the country's vast heritage and rich culture—India is, after all, one of the largest manufacturers and exporters of block printed fabrics.
The recorded history of block printed fabrics dates back to the Indus Valley civilization, around 3500 to 1300 BC. From the Harappan period onwards, the export of textiles, especially cotton, is confirmed. During the Mohenjo-Daro site excavation, needles, spindles, and cotton fibers dyed with Madder were excavated

From silk strands found in jewelry excavated from Harappa and Chanhu-Daro, and a cotton fragment found attached to a metal tool in Mohenjo-Daro, to modern synthetic fabrics, India’s journey in the field of textile is long and chequered. The story of textiles in India is one of the oldest in the world. The earliest surviving Indian cotton threads date to around 4000 BC and dyed fabrics from the region are documented as far back as 2500 BC. India’s textiles were so central to its identity abroad that in ancient Greece and Babylon the very name ‘India’ was shorthand for ‘cotton’.
Among the most famous weaves of India is the fine cotton muslin that has been the leading textile export to different parts of the world in ancient and medieval times. Muslin finds mention in different old travel accounts of the Chinese, Italian, and Arabic traders and in the Arthashastra, where it is mentioned as fine cloth from Pundra and Bangla, the Bengal Janapadas.

Since blocks are carved by hands, a huge amount of detailing is kept in mind while carving the blocks. This is also called a “relief printing” because the ink leaves a raised texture on the paper. Typically, done by hand, the ink sits on the surface adding a raised texture to the paper. Meticulous and time-intensive, it is a fast-dwindling profession.
