A female worker prepares cow's excrements in Bagru, Jaipur district, Rajasthan, India on 17 March 2019. The excrements are later used for burning the stove for boiling the water with natural dyes. Printing on fabrics is an Indian specialty, wood block printing is already used for hundreds of years. Bagru is famous for printing exclusively with natural colors. The main experts are members of the Chhipa community. (Chhi - dye, pa - let something dry in the sun). Locals estimate that there are about 200 printing workshops in and around Bagru, which dye fabrics using mud paste, natural rubber and wheat flakes. Organic basic colors are made of natural substances such as tamarind, alum, indigo and even pomegranate and other fruits and vegetables. (Photo by Krystof Kriz/NurPhoto)
