Kalamkari, as a word, is derived from the term “kalam”, meaning pen, and “kari”, which means craftsmanship. The exquisite art of Kalamkari is an ancient form of textile painting and can be dated back to 6th century BC. Steeped in mythology, Hand-painted kalamkari flourishes in Srikalahasti, Andhra Pradesh. Artists use natural, vegetable dyes and earthy hues on fabric. Given the intricacy and detail attached to the technique, it follows a mind blowing series of 23 steps.
