The process is time-consuming, but the result is a beautiful and one-of-a-kind piece of clothing. Dabu or Daboo is an ancient Rajasthani mud-resist technique being employed for more than 1300 years in India. Dabu is derived from the word ‘dabaana’ meaning to press.In this technique, mud paste is applied on the fabric as dabu using hand-carved wooden stamps. The paste is made with a mixture of Gur, Gond, Chuna and Kali Mitti. The mud makes the printed area resistant to dyes then Sawdust is sprinkled on wet dabu print to avoid smudging of pattern. After that the fabric is left under sunlight to dry completely. Next, the fabric is dipped in vat of dye, dried again and washed to remove all traces of the mud, and revealing the resist area to be the original white.
