Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Bagru print?
A: Bagru is a traditional hand-block-printing craft from Rajasthan, known for earthy colours, floral motifs, stripes, and geometric patterns. Artisans use carved wooden blocks to print the design onto fabric by hand.
Q: How are Bagru sarees made?
A: The cloth is prepared, then hand-stamped with carved blocks in repeated layers of colour. This hands-on process gives Bagru prints their distinctive depth and artisan-made character.
Q: Why can the print or colour vary slightly?
A: Small differences in block placement, print intensity, and shade are natural in hand-block printing. They are part of the individuality of a Bagru saree, not flaws.

A: Bagru is known for earthy palettes such as indigo, rust, black, cream, mustard, and red. Colours can look slightly different in different lighting and on different screens.
