In the present paper, the researcher has simulated textile prints from sculptural designs of famous Chaturmukh Jain temple of Ranakpur. The developed designs were applied on dupatta, tops and bed sheets through screen printing technique. All the printed articles had a acceptability of and above 80%. In case of Tops, Top T3 stood first with 611 points out of 750 and had highest acceptability of 81.4%. Regarding the acceptability of the duppattas, duppatta D3 stood on first position with 658 points showing acceptability of 87.7%. In case of bedsheets, bedsheet B1, stood first in ranking order with 669 points and an acceptability of 89.2%.
Introduction:
India is a vast country with a history that goes back to diversity, rich in culture and heritage and Rajasthan is famous for its rich and profile art treasures. The art of India is one of the most distinguishing features of a collective culture. The stone carved monuments of early times reflect the Indian tradition of wood carving. The tradition of wood carving can be seen reflected even today in a number of areas where the stone carvers answer to the requirements of the religious institutions which have been responsible for maintaining this tradition and the people of Rajasthan had a strong desire to decorate their surroundings and places of worship by their creative senses and artistic skills.
