The word batik actually means 'wax writing'.
It is a way of decorating cloth by covering a

Batik is made either by drawing dots and

 History Of Batik
In Java, Indonesia, batik predates written records. GP. Rouffaer argues that
the technique might have been introduced during the 6th or 7th century from
India or Sri Lanka.
On the other hand, JLA. Brandes (a Dutch archeologist) and F.A. Sutjipto
(an Indonesian archeologist) believe Indonesian batik is a native tradition,
regions such as Toraja, Flores, Halmahera, and Papua, which were not
directly influenced by Hinduism and have an old age tradition of batik
making.
UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and
Intangible Heritage of Humanity on October 2, 2009. As part of the
acknowledgment, UNESCO insisted that Indonesia preserve their heritage.
