    Product Background

    Resist printed on both sides in dominant shades of indigo and madder is the characteristic of this craft. Ajrakh textiles derive its name from the Arabic word azrak, meaning indigo. The printing is an elaborate process facilitating selective dyeing with the aid of resists through the reaction of the mordants with natural colours.

    Ajrakh is part of the cultural heritage of the desert regions of Kutch and Thar in India along with Sindh in Pakistan. Traditionally, the ajrakh textile pieces were worn by Kachchhi Muslim of the Maldhari community as a lungi (the men`s lower garment).
