The Ajrakh dupatta exudes sophisticated drama in classic black. This premium modal silk piece masterfully combines traditional Ajrakh block printing with delicate Katha running stitch embroidery, handcrafted using natural dyes for a timeless, textured ethnic treasure.

The Beautiful Harmony of Ajrakh and Katha Crafts

Ajrakh printing involves intricate resist-block techniques to create symmetrical, rich patterns on both sides of the fabric. This Ajrakh dupatta features bold geometric and floral motifs in contrasting natural colors against the deep black modal silk base—achieved through multiple stages of hand-carving blocks and layering dyes like indigo and madder.

The addition of Katha work (fine running stitches forming subtle motifs) adds a layered, tactile dimension, with artisans weaving stories through every stitch. Modal silk enhances it all: incredibly soft, with a luxurious drape, subtle sheen, and breathability that feels premium yet comfortable.
