Drying the Textiles


Madder & pomegranate drying field. The dyed textiles are laid out on these stones to dry. There was a drizzly rain the day we visited so there were no textiles laid out.


Pomegranate husks in the foreground & the indigo drying field in the middle ground.


A delicious collection of Ajarakh & other traditional block printed textiles, dyed with natural dyes.

Dying Block Printed Textiles


Dying with iron liquor.


Boiling the textile with natural dye materials in a copper pot.


These textiles have been block printed and dyed repeatedly to build up the design.
