DHAKA, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- Banti village in Narayanganj district, about 20 km from the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka, is a place highly regarded for its exquisite hand-printed colorful cotton (Batik) fabrics made by local craftsmen using methods passed on from one generation to the next.

Every home in the village seemingly doubles as a workshop and every family member is somehow involved in producing the fabrics that are destined for markets across Bangladesh and elsewhere in the world.
