What is Textile Batik Dyeing?

Batik is a fabric that is conventionally prepared by means of a manual wax-resist dyeing procedure.

Batik or fabrics with the traditional batik design patterns are established mainly in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, China, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Nigeria, Senegal and Singapore.

Javanese traditional batik, especially from Yogyakarta and Surakarta has outstanding senses embedded to the Javanese generalization of the creation. Traditional colors comprise indigo, dark brown and white which symbolize the three major Hindu Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Siva.

This is associated to the reality that natural dyes are most frequently obtainable in the colors indigo and brown. Particular patterns can only be used by graciousness. But by traditionally, wider stripes or wavy lines of larger width point towards the people of higher rank.

Accordingly, at some stage in Javanese ritual, an individual could find out the royal extraction of a person by the design of cloth what he or she was wearing.

Some other sections of Indonesia have their individual exclusive patterns that usually take ideas from day by day life, integrating patterns such as flowers, nature, animals, myths / legends or people. 


The colors of Coastal batik from the coastal cities of northern Java are expressly energetic and it takes up the authority from the Javanese, Arab, Chinese and Dutch cultures.

In the majestic times Coastal batik was a favorite of the Peranakan Chinese, Dutch and Eurasians.
