Ajrakh
Ajrakh is a traditional block-printing technique originating from the regions of Kutch in Gujarat and Sindh in Pakistan. This art form is known for its intricate geometric patterns and vibrant colors, often using natural dyes derived from plants and minerals. The process involves multiple steps, including dyeing, printing, and washing, which can take several days to complete.
The designs of Ajrakh often feature motifs inspired by nature, such as flowers and stars, reflecting the cultural heritage of the artisans. This textile is commonly used for clothing, home decor, and accessories, making it a significant part of the local craft industry.
