First taking a piece of cloth then washed and dried it. Then a special gum prepared from the powder of tamarind seed is used to cover its surface. Then another piece of cloth of the same size and dimensions used to put over this cloth before the gum dries up. Then tamarind gum is applied once again on this piece of cloth. when the gum dries, a powder of soft white stone mixed with the tamarind seed gum in ideal proportion, is applied on both sides of the cloth and left this to dry. Then after this, the cloth is polished with a smooth pebble which made smooth to make it suitable for doing painting on it.
