I have always loved the Indian textile
art of Kalamkari, and a trip to the village of its origin, Sri

article on Kalamkari for the in-flight magazine of Silk Air.
I spent a day at the workshop of one
of India's best-known Kalamkari artists, Jonnalagadda Niranjan, where
I saw artists busy at work and witnessed part of the lengthy
traditional process used to create the fabric designs.
