About the Artform

The word Kalamkari comes from the Kalam and Kari. It originated in the state of Andhra Pradesh and is a folk art form. It was traditionally painted onto a cotton or silk fabric with the help of a bamboo pen by using natural or vegetable dyes. There are two main styles of Kalamkari- the block printed that is practiced in the town of Machilipatnam and the hand-painted style that is largely practiced in the town of Srikalahasti.
