Nandana Hand Block Print ( Madhya Pradesh ) Javed located in District Neemuch is perhaps one of the few places where the wax resist process is used to produce the double sided Indigo dyed Nandana print . Nandana is the name of the print which represents the mango form in a number of variations . It could be a small mango with leaves as in this case or a big buta made up of small flowers , leaves and stem or just a smaller mango on its own The base is always an indigo dyed blue - black while the Datta or filler blocks use the white areas . The spacing of blocks is tighter towards the end piece and more widely distributed in the body portion . The main motifs are Chiny motif , Flower motif , Mango motif , Date motif . A very significant feature amongst printers here is the use of a particular flower motif placed at the end of a thaan after a hand drawn line in wax resist . The acts as a trade mark by which the discerning buyer recognizes a particular printer Nandana creations range from traditional skirts , ghagras , veils , pagdis etc. Around the early seventies , a strong decline in the craft had set in due to the migration of the tribals in search of employment . Javed has become synonymous with the Nandana , since it was the main trade centre , apart from being a major printing town as well . Until the 1960's there were about a 150 families of printers in Javed alone . Today not more than four families are printing in Javed .
