Sanganer

How does a one-day plan for Sanganer fail?

Quick answer

Sanganer, in Jaipur: a printing town south of Jaipur known for fine floral hand-block prints Summer midday is a bad time to judge colour. Visit one workshop. Ask what is hand-blocked and what is screen-printed.

Detailed answer

A plan for Sanganer has to start from the journey, not from a wish list. Visit one workshop. Ask what is hand-blocked and what is screen-printed. It is close enough to its usual hub that the journey can be part of a day, if you do not bolt on a second major sight. The mistake this note names is specific: buying a screen print at block-print prices
