Heritage of Ajrakh Hand Block Printing

Ajrakh is a revered craft from Gujarat’s Kutch region and Sindh, involving complex resist printing and natural dyes in a process that can take weeks. Artisans use hand-carved wooden blocks to create symmetrical, double-sided patterns inspired by nature and geometry.

In this navy blue Ajrakh mirror work saree, indigo creates the profound navy base, paired with contrasting motifs in white, red, and black from natural sources like madder and iron. This UNESCO-recognized heritage craft ensures eco-friendly, skin-safe colors. Read more on Wikipedia’s Ajrakh page.
