Ajrakh Printed Dupatta 

The art of Ajrakh printing can be traced back to the 16th-century ancestors who migrated to India from Sindh, bringing with them the craft of printing. Adorning the muted backdrop of the Kachchh desert, the vibrant hues of Ajrakh textiles stand out magnificently. Ajrakh print or Ajrakh block printing is a practice imbued with diverse meanings. According to local lore, Ajrakh is believed to signify “aaj rakh,” translating to "keep it today." It is also connected to "azrakh," an Arabic term for indigo, referencing the blue plant that flourished in the arid Kachchh ecology until the 1956 earthquake devastated the region, including Bhuj, Dhamadka, and other towns. In the aftermath of this calamity, the Khatri community was united, leading to the establishment of a new village, Ajrakhpur, dedicated to the revival of their craft and livelihoods. Presently, Khatris reside and craft Ajrakh textiles in both Ajrakhpur and other villages.
