The conventional block-printing which run in parallel lines technique of Ajrakh has attained a height of distinction at Balotra. Even though a desert climate but pure water is one of the chief reasons which impart good colours which is so essential for hand-block printing. The area of expertise of the block printing of Balotra is that it is finished on both sides of the cloth. This is very tricky technique as there should not be any disproportion in the design-transfer from the block to the cloth. The reverse side hand block printing is prepared simultaneously even when the previous side of the design print is wet. For that reason the hand block printed fabric from Balotra is very exclusive and comparatively expensive.
