Answer 1

Required Answer:

• Some of the major mordanting centres in India were in Gujarat and at Masulipatnam, Kalahasti, Pulicat and the Tanjore region on the Coromandel coast.
• At these centres Indian artisans developed and perfected various techniques of dyeing decorative patterns on cotton using vegetable colours.

More Information for Understanding:

• Basic techniques for mordanting cotton varied only in that in Gujarat wooden blocks were used for stamping, while on the Coromandel coast the transfer technique and the brush or pen were preferred. Each market had its own layout, motifs and colour and these had to be adhered to rigidly in order to ensure successful sale. Gujarati cottons were sold mostly in African and Persian Gulf ports and in Indonesia, while prime outlets for the southern cottons were Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

• Kalamkari is used exclusively for cotton fabrics. The technique incorporates patterns on fabrics through dyes and not through the loom. Ochre is a colour that cotton takes on easily, but for other colours to be absorbed the fabric has to undergo mordanting as the chemical reactions that follow would allow cotton fibres to absorb the desired hue. A fragment of mordant-dyed cotton fibre has been found in Moenjodaro -- proof of the antiquity of the process.

• Mordant could be applied uniformly or selectively to get variations in colour. It could be applied with a block or with a brush or pen-like instrument (the kalam), on a prewoven fabric called tabby. The patterned cotton textiles were used as decorative or functional hangings, in apparel and as wrapping and covering material. Hence, kalamkari covered a whole range of textiles with the only common feature being the dyeing method.
