Bagru, Rajasthan, India

Ram Kishor Chhipa Derawala is the defining voice of Bagru. A Padma Shri recipient and National Award winner, he does not cut corners; every piece of Fadat fabric in his studio must pass through all 18 traditional stages of the Bagru process to be considered authentic.

He views his work as a professional legacy, now spanning three generations of his family. Recognized by Presidents and Prime Ministers, he operates with the quiet authority of a man who has mastered his medium. At Kanasi, we partner with the Derawala family because they represent the absolute pinnacle of Indian hand-block printing.

"Fadat is not a design; it is a discipline. It requires all eighteen steps of the Bagru process—from the river to the block—to transform a piece of cloth into a testament of our land."
