Batik printed fabric is one of the most tiring art forms in the textile world. It involves 3 steps to make illusions on the fabric. The first step involves applying wax, second being dyeing the fabric and finally scraping the wax from the fabric.

The wax is carefully removed by boiling the cloth. Boiling enables the wax to peel off easily.

History of Batik printed fabric

When it comes to the origin of batik printed fabric, there are multiple theories but not a definitive history about its origin. Talking about genus in India, it is believed that the Batik fabric gave its first glance in the 1st Century AD. Furthermore, it is also believed that the khatri community of Gujarat were the sole practitioners of this art form. It's aging history and lack of innovations in designs and patterns led to the relegation of this art. But in the 20th century, this artform got a new lease of life when this art form was introduced as a part of mandatory syllabus in the University of Shanti Niketan, Kolkata. This acted as a resurrection for the Batik fabric artform.
