Jaipur hand block printing, also known as Jaipur block print or Jaipur handblock print, is a traditional textile printing technique that originates from Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. It is renowned for its intricate designs, vibrant colors, and skilled craftsmanship.

In Jaipur hand block printing, wooden blocks are hand-carved with intricate patterns and designs. These blocks are then dipped in natural dyes and stamped onto fabric, creating a repeated pattern. The process involves precision and expertise to ensure proper alignment and consistency throughout the fabric.

The designs used in Jaipur hand block printing are inspired by various elements such as nature, folklore, and geometric patterns. Common motifs include flowers, animals, birds, and traditional Indian designs like paisleys and butis. These designs are an integral part of Rajasthan’s rich cultural heritage and have been passed down through generations of artisans.

The fabric used for Jaipur hand block printing is typically cotton or silk, although other natural fibers may also be used. The natural dyes used in the process are derived from sources such as plants, vegetables, and minerals, resulting in a wide range of vibrant colors.
