Kalamkari or Qalamkari is hand painted or block printed textile. It is derived from the Persian ‘drawing with a pen’. There are two styles in India. The Srikalahasthi style which is based on themes of religious hangings, temple engravings, scrolls, deities, scenes from epics etc. based on the influence of Hindu rulers of the Malla dynasty. The Machilipatnam style based on Islam influence of the Mughals and evolved with themes of flora, fauna and nature chosen.
The essential features of Kalamkari
Using
Natural dyes mostly, hand block printing is used for the printing of the fabric
and the pen used for the finer details and inner filling of colours.

The elaborate process of Kalamkari
The
initial weaving of the fabric completed, is when the Kalamkari process takes
over. The cotton fabric is immersed in a fine mix of myrobalan ( a resin) and
cow’s milk to provide the adhesion of colours. By soaking it for an hour a
unique gloss is achieved. It is after this that the finer lines and details are
drawn with a bamboo stick styled like a pen soaked in fermented jiggery and
water. After this the vegetable dyes are applied. The application of each
colour done, the fabric is washed. This leads to the fabric being washed a
number of times to see that the colours have adhered and do not spread.
