Kalamkari Raises Saree Look to New Heights

Kalamkari is an intricate process of hand-painting and block-printing on the saree, that uplifts its appeal.
Kalamkari, meaning craftsmanship through the use of a pen, is an ethnic art involving hand-painting or block printing on Sarees. Two styles namely ? the Machilipatnam style and the Srikalahasti style are still prevalent in Andhra Pradesh, in places by these names.
Both styles of Kalamkari are distinctive and enjoy their own place in their following. Kalamkari painting is an arduous process of dyeing and hand printing. Several stages of washing and treatment to the fabric prior to the painting and after it, is undergone before the final product is ready.
Srikalahasti Style, having royal patronage of Hindu kings and being associated with temples, was influenced by Hindu scriptures and mythology. It mostly has subjects of Gods, temple hangings, epic scenes and other religious themes, in its ?Kalamkari?. Certain marked features of this style are simplicity, good use of colour with some colours given prominence, sharpness in the depictions, and the use of motifs.
The Machilipatnam style having Islamic influence uses more of flora and fauna as themes in its work.
Natural dyes are employed for colours, in Kalamkari, with cotton, silk, crepe, georgette being the usual fabrics as canvas for this art.
