The knowledge of carving of these intricate wooden textile printing blocks has been handed down through generations in Jaipur. 
This fascinating technique for printing cotton is very skilled. Watching the printers at their craft is mesmerising. The speed that they work along the long tables, often in conjunction with others who contribute to the pattern is impressive. The work is laborious, but the results are wonderful.
