Block printing is an ancient art that has been practiced in India for thousands of years. The earliest documented evidence of this craft is from the times of Alexander the Great in 327 B.C, when he mentions ‗beautiful printed cottons‘ in India. Bagh printing in its current form started in 1962 when a group of Muslim Khatri weavers migrated from the near by Manavar to Bagh. They were originally from Sindh, and had since migrated to Marwad in Rajasthan and then to Manavar, with them they brought the block printing technique, which is now the unique Bagh printing style. In Bagh printing, only vegetable dyes are used, the main colours being black and red. For black colour, a mixture of harada and iron ore is used. For red, a mixture of alum and dhavada flower is used. These dyes are extracted and prepared locally. Wooden blocks are used for making block prints. For raw material cotton, silk and combination clothes are used, due to good absorption power. The whole method goes through a long process of dyeing and printing by different traditional designs. Once the printing is finished the cloth is left to dry in sun. To cover the whole process, survey and interview methods are used, by these methods data‘s are collected randomly. For results, Chi square test is applied and the significant level is checked.
