2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship

The Bandhani with Ajrakh | Borderless Saree is more than fabric—it’s a living archive of India’s textile soul.

Bandhani, dating back over 5,000 years to the Indus Valley Civilization, is a meticulous tie-dye art practiced by communities in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Each dot is hand-tied with precision, symbolizing prosperity and protection.

Ajrakh, rooted in the arid lands of Kutch and Sindh, uses natural dyes like indigo, madder, and pomegranate to create geometric and floral motifs that echo cosmic harmony. Traditionally worn by Khatri artisans, Ajrakh represents balance between nature and human rhythm.

By merging these two heritage crafts into a borderless silhouette, Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi honors centuries of artistry while reimagining it for the conscious modern woman.

4. Wash & Care Instructions

To preserve the vibrancy and integrity of your heirloom piece:
🧴 Wash: Hand wash only with mild shampoo or pH-neutral detergent in cold water.
🚫 Avoid: Bleach, harsh detergents, or machine washing—these damage natural dyes and fibers.
