The name "Kalamkari" comes from the Persian words "kalam" (pen) and "kari" (craftsmanship), referring to the pen-work involved. The art form uses natural dyes and is known for intricate mythological and nature-inspired motifs, often seen on fabrics for ethnic wear, scrolls, and temple hangings. Designs are created either by hand-painting with a bamboo pen (kalam) or by using carved wooden blocks. | ML115 |
