This study examines the use of traditional and modern motif transfer techniques on the fabrics. Motifs developed were inspired by the Pandavleni Caves in Nashik, India. By taking inspiration from intricate carvings of the caves, ten motifs were developed using CAD, and one was chosen to create samples through hand painting, digital printing, and embroidery on cotton fabric. The objective was to assess the adaptability and visual impact of these techniques while showcasing how historical motifs can seamlessly integrate into contemporary fashion to preserve cultural heritage. The results demonstrated that hand painting and digital printing and screen printing were highly favored for their vibrant colors and precision, where as embroidery, though valued for its craftsmanship, was less preferred due to slower execution and challenges in detailing. This comparative analysis highlights the potential of merging traditional artistry with modern technology to innovate textile designs, making cultural heritage more relevant and appealing to today's audiences.
