This craft holds a special place in the hearts of Indian artisans as well, who for ages have been designing and giving this craft a taste of their own. Because of the enormous scope of designing patterns, this craft provides an artistic freedom to the craftsmen. Artisans of Cholamandalam near Chennai are said to be mavens of this craft. Batik is also produced in parts of Gujarat, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.
The intricate designs are carefully made by craftsman using a pencil. The pattern is then waxed to retain the colour of the fabric and taken for its first bath. The duration of the dye bath determines the hue of the first colour on the fabric.

The number of colours in batik represents how many times it was immersed in the dye bath and how many times wax has to be applied and removed. The complexity of the design and the number of colours on the fabric determines how long it will take to complete the production process
A craft celebrated all across the world, Batik holds its traces in various parts of Egypt, Indonesia, Middle East and India. Popularly identified by little dots, Batik is an ancient wax dyeing technique. Derived from the Javanese word amba (to write) and titik (dot), it has been a sought after craft amongst the Javanese Patriots (ethnic natives of Indonesia).
