Dabu printing is a centuries-old Indian hand-block resist printing method based on the ancient rural textile craft of Rajasthan. It is done with natural substances—black clay, lime, wheat chaff, gum, and sawdust—to form the resist patterns and natural or vegetable dyes for dyeing the resist patterns, most often indigo.
