The Batik painters have treated the ‘wonderland’ in a most artistic manner. The gracious lady, the parrot and the peacock have been given a beautiful treatment. Batik painters make use of simple motifs to yield a wonderful result. Batik form of art is very old in India and paintings are made more attractive by applying the wax resist and systematic cracking. The special batik effect is created by cracking of wax on the lighter hues and seeping in of the darker colors though them. This art form is practiced in Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Orissa.
