Kalamkari is a type of handprinted or hand block printed cotton textile. Kalamkari refers to the ancient style of hand painting that is done with a tamarind pen, using natural dyes. The literal meaning of Kalamkari is kalam, which means pen, and Kari which refers to craftsmanship; which is derived from a Persian word. Motifs drawn in this ancient art of Kalamkari, include flowers, peacocks, paisleys, and also divine characters from Ramayana and Mahabharata. Kalamkari was born out of the art of storytelling. In ancient times, people used to travel from village to village and told stories; some of them even drew it on a canvas.

Kalamkari is a very detailed and complicated painting that results in beautiful and elegant designs. Kalamkari designs and colors are very vibrant and bright. After being worldfamous, the artisans modernized Kalamkari designs and came up with new ideas and themes. These artisans came up with innovative ideas highly influenced by Persian motifs, Hindu mythology, and religious symbols; that gave an identification to Kalamkari designs. Kalamkari designs are drawn generally by freehand using a pen and further, the filling is also completely done with the hand. Kalamkari art is generally done using earthy colors like mustard, indigo, rust, green and black.
