Description
The Khatri community, whose ancestors have been printing with wooden ajrakh blocks for centuries, migrated to Kutch from Sindh. Ajrakh has two meanings: “keep it for today” and “like the blue sky with stars sparkling in the darkness.” Wooden and metal blocks carved with traditional designs are coated in dye and printed on cloth. Stunning results are achieved through a process of hand printing, rinsing and sun drying. The different patterns of each block fit together into colorful designs.
Since this product is hand block-printed, it may have slight irregularities, which are only a testimony of the human involvement in the process. * Please note that slight colour bleeding or rubbing may occur due to the traditional printing process involved.
Khamir is a platform for conserving crafts, heritage and cultural ecology of Kutch, Gujarat. Instituted after 2001’s earthquake as a joint initiative of Kutch Nav Nirman Abhiyan and Nehru Foundation for Development.
