Home textiles in Batik are much cherished by the people who have a flair for giving their homes that spark of ingenuity. This handicraft form is a product of beautifully coloured designs on textiles. The craftsman applies wax to random areas of the cloth and then dye it. The waxed areas thus evade the absorption of the dye and this creates unique attractive designs. This artform is deeply rooted among the people of Gujarat, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, though each region has its own specialty in its creations. The designs express distinctive ideas and spiritual beliefs that indicate diversities in human history, religion and creativity.
Traditional motifs are inspired by objects around us, in nature, people, tales, religious ideologies and socio-cultural beliefs and those that are crafted on home linens are no exception. This particular handicraft form is nurtured in many parts of India where each region narrates its story with its own uniqueness. One can find rare motifs that carry the rich taste and elegance of the Mughals, Persians and that of the Indus Valley Civilization era. This traditional artform blends seamlessly the heritage of the country with the present culture by the utilisation of modern resources and techniques. The motifs on home textiles are indeed a feast to the eyes and a source of grace and beauty to the home.
