The city was certified as a World Heritage site by UNESCO Director, General Audrey Azoulay in February 2020. To my luck, it is only about 250kms from my hometown and I often find myself in this vibrant city; and every time, it takes me by surprise!
All of their designs are multi-layered and require precision. First, the design is drawn on a paper and then it gets carved layer by layer on multiple wooden blocks. Everything is handmade - designing on paper, carving the designs on the wood, making colours and the final printing. Only the textile is sourced through various vendors.
Like I said, abundantly talented! Won’t you agree?
