Ajrakh Silk Dupattas – A Blend of Timeless Tradition and Luxury
Step into the world of exquisite craftsmanship with our Ajrakh silk dupattas, where tradition meets luxury.

Made from the finest silk and using eco-friendly, natural dyes, every piece tells a story of heritage, artistry, and superior quality.
History of Ajrakh:
Ajrakh is one of the oldest forms of hand-block printing, dating back over 4,000 years. Originating from the Sindh region (now in Pakistan), this craft migrated to India and flourished in Kutch and Barmer. The word “Ajrakh” is derived from the Arabic word “Azrak,” meaning blue, as the deep indigo blue was once a dominant color in the patterns. Over time, Ajrakh’s intricate designs and natural dyes have evolved, but the essence of this traditional art form remains intact.
Traditional Techniques:
The creation of Ajrakh silk dupattas is an elaborate and meticulous process, requiring skilled artisans to follow up to 16 different stages of production:
Block Printing: The foundation of Ajrakh is its unique hand-carved wooden blocks, used to imprint the designs on fabric. Each block is stamped individually, often multiple times, to achieve the intricate patterns.
Natural Dyes: Ajrakh artisans use natural dyes made from ingredients like indigo, madder, pomegranate, iron rust, and other plants, ensuring that every dupatta is free from harmful chemicals.
Resist Dyeing: The technique involves blocking certain areas of the fabric to resist dye absorption, creating beautiful contrasts and detailed patterns. This process can take several days to complete for each piece.
Multiple Washes: The fabric undergoes several washes to set the colors and soften the silk, giving it a luxurious feel and a lasting vibrancy.
