Ajrakh prints are more than just patterns - they embody history, tradition and skilled craftsmanship. Originating in Gujarat, Rajasthan and Sindh, this
4,000 year old
textile art remains one of the oldest in practice.
The name
Ajrakh comes from the
Arabic Azrak (Blue), a dominant colour in these prints. Once worn by royalty and Sufi mystics as a symbol of identity and status, Ajrakh has now evolved into a global fashion statement, gracing sarees, dresses, scarves and blazers. It has transitioned from traditional turbans and lungis to contemporary silhouettes like maxi dresses and jumpsuits while staying true to its handmade roots. The Khatri community continues to preserve this intricate
craft, using resist printing and natural dyes like indigo, madder root and turmeric.
Ajrakh remains a testament to slow fashion - sustainable, artisanal and timeless.
