Parsi Embroidery<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Parsi community is a distinguished but diminishing community in India. The unique traditions in India date back to the period between 8th and 10th centuries. Among their many artistic traditions is the Parsi embroidery. With roots in their origins in Iran, the art has developed to embrace Persian, European, Indian and Chinese cultures. Seen typically in the Parsi Gara sarees, this artwork is so rich that it takes about 9 months to complete one piece! Though that\u2019s the beauty of it, it also has proven to be a bane in the present world where mass-produced garments and fast life are threatening this exquisite art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogan Art<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Another gem of Indian art traditions, Rogan art is a tradition by just one family in India, the Khatris of Nirona in Gujarat. The essence of Rogan art is the use of castor oil to make the basic material for colours. Someone stirs the hot oil for a painstaking 12 hours, without letting it burn. Then they use natural colours to produce the paint for the fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rogan art is used to craft beautiful and colourful motifs of flora, animals and birds on items like sarees, tablecloths, curtains and pillow covers. To preserve this stupendous art form, inspired by folk culture of the Kutch region, the Khatri family is volunteering to teach it to craftsmen, including women, from outside the family as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, during the American visit by Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, he gifted the then American President Barack Obama exquisite handcrafted Rogan paintings. Though international acclaim is pouring in, means to market the Rogan products are lacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Batik Art<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Batik art has resemblance to tie & dye techniques like Bandhani. It boasts a history of existence for over 2000 years. Its highest development happened in Indonesia, from where the art form lends its name. In Javanese, \u2018amba\u2019 means to write and \u2018titik\u2019 means dot. The Batik fabric art is done with a wax resist dyeing technique. The art is made on the fabric by either putting dots and lines using a special tool called \u2018Canting\u2019 or by stamping the wax resist dye with a copper stamp called \u2018Cap\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other invaluable Indian art forms like Ikat, Ajrak and Kalamkari are already been taken up and increasingly applied in Indian fashion & textiles. With such art applied, they make way to stunning collections!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning and Practising these crafts, one joins the lineage of craftsmen who are proud to resurrect and preserve them for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
