Nandana prints, a cultural gem from Madhya Pradesh, boast a rich history and unique process

Hailing from the villages of Ummedpura and Tarapur in Neemuch district, Nandana prints have been around for an estimated 500 years. Traditionally, the Bhil and Bhilal tribes adorned themselves with these beautiful fabrics.

Crafting Magic: The intricate designs are created using a mud resist block printing technique, meticulously involving 18 steps. This intricate process results in thick and durable cotton textiles, perfect for the Bhil communities' active lifestyles

A Fight for Survival: Though Nandana prints have endured for centuries, they face challenges in the modern world. The decline in patronage and a shrinking artisan base threaten this art form's future

Let's #SaveNandanaPrints and celebrate this vibrant heritage!
