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. There are two schools of art that developed Kalamkari initially
in India and from individual origins.

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 Kalamkarihave
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 styles
merged into one with different facets within the art.
The essence of Kalamkari
Kalamkari on traditional
fabrics like the salwar kamiz and saree showcases the 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 shalwar kameez 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.
