The process broadly is the same. First of all Tannin is applied on the cloth by dipping it into myrobalan. Then black outline, filling is done using Ferrous acetate solution using indigenous methods. Then alum is applied on the portion where red is desired. Then solution is boiled with Alizarin to get the red colors.
