Kalamkari is from ‘Kalam’ (pen) and ‘Kari’
(craftsmanship), words taken from the Persian for the art of hand painting done
on fabrics with the use of a pen and extended to include hand block printing.

Srikalahasti style that
used the pen for drawing and filling in the colours, and with a strong
influence of Hindu culture that specifically focused on religious subjects and
scenes from the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata in its paintings.

The Machilipatnam style that came with an Islamic
slant, had subjects of paintings mostly depicting flora and fauna, with floral
designs as a backdrop on the fabric.

Both styles that have popularised Kalamkari have
one thing in common – the depictions are fine and neatly drawn, there is
extensive use of organic colours which are fast, there is no dilution in the
skill and quality over the years.

Today’s Kalamkari has both these styles merged
into one with different facets within the art.
Kalamkari showcases
traditional simplicity, elaborate themes, sharp detailing and attractive motifs
in a host of bright and pleasing hues.
Kalamkari comes off beautifully on a whole lot of
fabrics like silk, cotton, sico art silks such as georgette, chiffon, Supernet,
crepe silk and others.
With vegetable dyes being used, colours are fast
and long lasting. Motifs with trees, creepers, flowers, leaves, birds are
popular subjects.

Gloss
on the fabric comes from the traditional use of some natural substances such as
myrobalan, cow’s milk, cow dung, seeds, plants and crushed flowers in the
paintings.
The etching of lines and
applying of colour is done with a finely sharpened short bamboo piece which
reflects the devotion and skill of the ethnic craftsmen to bring about such
exquisite masterpieces despite the limited resources.
A time-consuming and
arduous task, that involves patience and dedication, it is the sharpness of the
lines, the fine details and the picturesque outcome that make this ethnic
effort worth its while.
Kalamkari Indian tunics or the Kurtis and Kurtas in the printed variety
have block prints featuring floral designs and geometrical patterns arranged in
designer fashion.
Modern
abstract designs have also been included in recent times to resounding applause
from the market.
Ethnic art is like any
other art. It is however the toil and the effort in producing these exceptional
works of detail and flawlessness despite the limited resources available, that
truly give it its value.
There is a special section on kalamkarikurtis and kurtas. There are kurtis with floral spreads, kurtas
with light thematic displays on dark plain backgrounds, tunics with designer
necks, plain sections below and the major portion covered in wonderful
kalamkari designer patterns on lovely handloom cotton weaves.

that make such fabrics attractive and unique. Traditional art on fine
handlooms, Kalamkari fabrics become exclusive and suit for almost any occasion.
