Bagh - this humble hamlet embedded  by the Vindhyas is home to one of the most beautiful  and unique craft of thappa chappai or block printing with natural colours which has been inherited from generation to generation. The block designs find inspiration from nature like the ancient Bagh Cave paintings, and the jali (lattice) work of the Taj Mahal. Each block has a name: chameli (jasmine), maithir (mushroom), leheriya (waves), keri (mango), and jurvaria (small dots).

Bagh printing, previously known as alizarin printing, is manual and laborious, involving several processes of repeated washing, dyeing, and printing. Bagh prints have adorned not just cotton and silk fabric, but cotton-silk, tussar, jute, and crepe as well and transformed into attractive stoles, dupattas, elaborate saris etc.
