Note:

Dabbu Printing is famous amongst the Chippa community of traditional printers from Rajasthan. This craft is practiced around the Bagru and Sanganer regions. This printing is originally worked in natural dyes, but nowadays chemical dyeing is also done. All the motifs are derived from vegetable and floral forms and each bears a unique association with a specific Chippa community.

The Dabbu process begins with the collection and storage of mud from the local pond. The mud is made wet before being used, and it is then mixed with lime, gum, alum and jaggery. The fabric is washed to remove all the starch then treated with 'harda' and dried again. The end printing is executed by applying a wooden block dipped in the 'dabbu' paste on the treated cloth. The fabric is then dyed. Depending on the design the fabric undergoes a second round of resist printing or washing which removes the mud paste. The final dyeing imparts colour to the previously resisted areas.
