Ajrakh

Ajrakh is a traditional Indian and Pakistani textile art that involves intricate block printing using natural dyes. Originating from the Kutch region, it features complex geometric and floral patterns created through a meticulous process of resist dyeing, where parts of the fabric are protected to preserve original colors. Natural materials like indigo and madder root are used for vibrant, long-lasting hues. Ajrakh textiles are valued for their craftsmanship, durability, and cultural significance, often made into clothing, bed linens, and wall hangings, showcasing a rich heritage of artisan skill and sustainable dyeing techniques.
