India has been renowned for its hand block printed and dyed textiles of cotton and silk cloth since the 12th century and these trades flourished in the following centuries as they received royal patronage. Though the earliest records mention the printing centers in the south, the craft seems to have been prevalent all over India and today has settled in the north of India, Nepal and Pakistan.

Surat in Gujarat became a prominent center for trade of painted and hand wood block printed textiles. The major items produced were clothing, bed clothing (bedspreads), wall hangings including wedding decorations, canopies and floor spreads in rich natural colors. As far back as the 12th century, several centers in the south and on the western and eastern coasts of India became renowned for their excellent printed cotton. On the southeastern coast the brush or kalam (pen) was used, and the resist applied by the same method. In the medieval age printing and dyeing of cottons was specially developed in Rajasthan. In Gujarat the use of wooden blocks for printing was more common.

Tents were created from printed fabrics and became a necessary part of royal processions. The seasons largely influenced the integration of the highly creative processes of weaving, spinning, dyeing and printing. Festivals also dictated this activity.
