- Origin: The art was started by the Khatris, a Muslim community who came to India from Sindh, Pakistan.
- Process: In this art, Castor oil is heated and cast into cold water and the thick residue is then mixed with natural colours.Then, using a stylus or blocks, this resultant paint is meticulously transferred on to a cloth to make floral, animal (peacock) and geometric patterns.
