Ajrakh: The Timeless Art of Hand Block Printing

At Anantalaya Silks, we believe in preserving and promoting India’s rich textile heritage. Among the gems of traditional craftsmanship we proudly offer is Ajrakh — a centuries-old hand block printing art known for its intricate patterns, natural dyes, and cultural depth.
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
This detailed craftsmanship ensures that every piece is reversiblelong-lasting, and completely unique.
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.
