About Choganji Craft Community

The Legacy of Sanganeri Handblock Printing
Rooted in the heritage town of Sanganer near Jaipur, Chogans is a living legacy of hand block printing that spans over four centuries. Today, sixth-generation master craftsman Mukesh Kumar Dhanopia leads the community, carrying forward an unbroken lineage of artisans dedicated to this timeless craft.

Home to over a hundred skilled artisans, Chogans create intricately printed textiles defined by delicate floral motifs, natural dyes, and the signature white base that characterises Sanganeri prints.

Beyond craftsmanship, the cluster keeps the art relevant through handprinted school uniforms, workshops, training programs, and global demonstrations. Recognised by the Government of India and celebrated in over thirty countries, Chogans stands as a symbol of India’s handmade excellence.

Meet the Artisans

In this cluster, over a hundred artisans bring designs to life through a choreography of touch and precision honed over generations.
Each artisan prints 15–20 meters of fabric a day, building motifs layer by layer. The number of colours in a design decides how many hand-carved blocks are used, each requiring its own round of printing, followed by careful washing and drying before the next hue is applied.
Their movements are swift yet meditative. in a blink, the block lands perfectly in place, aligned and balanced. This instinctive rhythm, shaped by years of practice, is what keeps the living art of Sanganeri printing alive.
