Sanganeri is a hand-block printing technique originating from Sanganer, a village in the southern part of Jaipur, India. Delicate patterns and lines with vibrant colored designs are the characteristic of Sanganeri. Sanganeri textile printing is almost 5 centuries old. The Sanganeri printing technique developed between the 16th and 17th century. The constant wars between the Mughals and Marathas caused several craftsmen to migrate from Gujarat to Rajasthan. This craft ultimately found its haven in Sanganer, where it has been thriving ever since. It became one of the major export items for the East India Company, and its trademark was the original dye used for printing designs.
