Gujarat has a very rich inheritance of handicrafts. Printing on cloth is seen widely and is a complex and specialized job. There are various techniques of embellishing fabric with dyes and Ajrakh printing is one among them. An extraordinary piece of Ajrakh printing is that the same design on a single fabric is done with other dyeing techniques. The process of printing is repeated on both sides of the fabric perfectly which takes the skills of an experienced artisan to carry out the process. Dyeing is repeated to get brilliant colours and sometimes to fill the outlined patterns. Ajrakh uses complex geometry patterns to create collections in indigo, maroon, black and white colours. Natural ingredients are used to get the dyes. Keeping eco-friendly dyes will increase the sustainability of the craft and the ecology.
