Ramesh works in Bagru, a village whose name has meant block printing for generations. He carves each teak block by hand, then presses colour onto cotton, repeat after careful repeat.
Because the dye is natural and the printing is human, no two metres are identical. That is the point — your kurta carries a print that a machine could not have made.
“A printed cloth remembers the hand that made it. Look closely and you will see it.”
— Ramesh Kumar
