The kalam or pen is used for free hand drawings; the majority of topics are religious related to Indian Gods and great Hindu Epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata etc. The themes are carefully chosen and often depicting in narrative manner, powerful use of line drawings and natural colors is the specialty of these paintings, Srikalahasti and Machilipatnam are the two famous towns in South India where the Kalmkari works are produced in majority, while preparing a painting the cotton fabric gets its glossiness by immersing it for an hour in a mixture of resin & cow milk. The contours of chosen subject is drawn with a point in bamboo soaked in a mixture of jagri fermented & water; after its application the vegetable dyes are applied. After applying each color, the Kalamkari is washed. Thus, each fabric undergoes through at least 3-4 washings.
