Sindhi ajrak
Sindhi ajrak is a traditional block-printed textile that originates from the Sindh region of Pakistan. Known for its rich colors and intricate patterns, ajrak is typically made from cotton and features deep indigo, red, and black hues. The designs often include geometric shapes and floral motifs, reflecting the cultural heritage of the Sindhi people.
The process of creating ajrak is labor-intensive, involving multiple stages of dyeing and printing. Artisans use natural dyes and traditional techniques passed down through generations. Ajrak is commonly worn as a shawl or scarf and is an important symbol of Sindhi identity and craftsmanship.
