Uses
Bagru prints are immensely used in contemporary as well as conventional garments.
Conventionally, Bagru prints were used mostly for ghagras (skirts), odhnis (scarves) and pagris (turbans). The printed lengths of rough cotton about 50 cms wide were typically sewn together for long skirts.
Today, the products made with Bagru block prints have entered into Home Furnishings, apparel and accessories.
