| Ethnic
Fabrics - Ajrakh Prints |
| Ajrak
is a block-printed textile that is resist-dyed using natural
dyes, including indigo and madder and is distinguished
by its color- blue with red - and its complex geometric
& floral patterns. |
| The
term "Ajrak", may be derived from "Azrak",
meaning blue in Arabic and persian, as blue happens to
be one of the principal colours in Ajrak printing. Ajrak
craft products are made with natural dyes, that includes
both vegetable dyes and mineral dyes. |
| Indigo
is key dye. Ajrakh uses mud-resist in the various stages
and another unique feature is that the dyeing and printing
is repeated twice on the fabric to ensure brilliance of
colour. Ajrak is said to signify the Universe,because
of the use of color palate. Color red for earth, black
for darkness, white for clouds and blue for Universe itself.
