 Sundanese or Priangan Batik is the term for batik from the Priangan region of West Java and Banten . Although Priangan batiks can use a wide range of colours , a preference for indigo is seen in some of its variants . Natural indigo dye made from Indigofera is among the oldest known dyes in Java , and its local name tarum has lent its name to the Citarum river and the Tarumanagara kingdom , which suggests that ancient West Java was once a major producer of natural indigo . Noted Priangan batik is produced in Ciamis , Garut , and Tasikmalaya . Other traditions include Batik Kuningan influenced by batik Cirebon , batik Banten that developed quite independently , and an older tradition of batik Baduy .
