The design is carefully drawn and carved onto the wood block. Colors are then mixed and matched. Artisans carefully stamp the outline, which is used as a framework for the rest of the design. To print the design on the fabric, the printer applies colors to the block and presses it firmly and steadily on the cloth. Each color consists of its own block. The fabric is then sent to the washing units where it is immersed in a soapy lotion and rinsed. Subsequently it is dried under the hot sun and sent to the stitching units, where they are carefully stitched. A final quality check is then done by women artisans.
