Kalamkari

Types of Kalamkari Available at Sahni Fabrics

Kalamkari fabric comes in two main styles, each with its own unique charm and technique.

1. Srikalahasti Style – This type is hand-painted using a pen (kalam), often showcasing mythological stories, deities, and detailed motifs. It requires great skill and is done entirely by hand.
   

2. Machilipatnam Style – This style uses wooden blocks to print designs. It features floral, paisley, and geometric patterns and is known for its earthy tones and fine detailing.
   

At Sahni Fabrics, we offer both types of Kalamkari, ensuring authentic craftsmanship and beautiful patterns for all your design needs.
