Ajrakh Sarees

Fine quality ajrakh block printed Tussar silk saree, made using natural dyes through traditional ajrakh technique of hand block printing practised by the artisans in Kutch region of Gujarat. Tussar silk is produced from larvae of several species of silkworms belonging to the moth genus Antheraea. 
Ajrakh is a traditional vegetable dyeing and resist block-printing technique on cloth. It is estimated to be around 4,500 years old. The Ajrakh artisans in India are originally from Sindh and they migrated to Kutch in Gujarat and Barmer in Rajasthan. Ajrakh is the traditional attire of the Maldhari pastoral community of Bhuj. The process of ‘Ajrakh’ is a long-drawn process with many stages and each layer of colour is printed after a gap of time so the cloth has to stay for the day.
