Dabu block print is a traditional Indian resist-dyeing technique used in fabric printing.
It involves applying a paste made from mud, gum, lime, and other natural ingredients to the fabric using wooden blocks. Once the paste is applied in intricate patterns, the fabric is dyed. The areas covered with the paste resist the dye, creating unique and detailed designs. After dyeing, the paste is washed off, revealing the contrast between the dyed and un-dyed areas. This technique is often used in creating beautiful textiles and garments with rich, earthy colors and elaborate patterns.
