What is Ajrakh?
Originating from the desert regions of Kutch (Gujarat) and Sindh (Pakistan), Ajrakh is more than just fabric — it’s a soulful representation of nature, geometry, and heritage. The term Ajrakh is derived from the Arabic word ‘Azrak’ meaning blue, the most prominent color in this art form.
The Process: A Labor of Love
At Anantalaya Silks, our artisans follow the authentic Ajrakh process that involves:
- Natural dyes like indigo, madder root, and turmeric
- Hand-carved wooden blocks for symmetrical, complex designs
- Multiple stages of washing, dyeing, resist printing, and drying
- A timeline that can stretch over 14–16 painstaking steps
Cultural Relevance & Modern Appeal
Traditionally worn as turbans or shawls, Ajrakh has transcended time to become a modern-day style statement. At Anantalaya Silks, we offer Ajrakh in sarees, stoles, dupattas, fabric lengths, and more, blending timeless art with contemporary elegance.
