The hatha mallet is pushed down; the first impression is tested on paper to ensure there are no obstructions to the smooth flow of roghan. The pressure applied on the mallet - not too much and not too little, requires years of practice. The roghan paste is squeezed through the perforation, forming a perfect motif. The next step of lifting the block is equally critical, the movement required is even and sure, so as not to smudge the impression.
