It is the use of natural dyes and colors in Bagru print sarees that makes them a popular choice among environmental enthusiasts.

Bagru prints are applied on sarees with off-white, ivory-white, or beige backgrounds. These prints showcase circular motifs, flowers, fruits, and birds on various fabrics such as crepe sarees, georgette sarees, silk sarees, pure chiffon sarees, and bagru cotton sarees. Bagru patterns are particularly stylish on zari-bordered south-hand-loom cotton saris. Despite the changing times, this traditional art has retained its uniqueness and remains less affected by the changing market and the emergence of cheaper power loom products.
