Answer:
The term Kalamkari literally means ''work done with a pen''. The term is derived from the Persian words 'kalam' and 'kari' which means 'drawing with a pen'.
The term is now inseperably attached to the painted and block-printed cotton and silk textiles, produced in the Coromandel Coast of India.
Today, the two most prominent centres of Kalamkari production are Machillipatnam and Srikalahasti. Both the centers are associated with two distinctive styles of Kalamkari art.
