Craft

All of Ajrakh's ingredients are made from nature, including herbs, botanical essences, and natural minerals. Some of the common ingredients are wild indigo, pomegranate bark and seeds, and hardwoods. Camel dungs, which are abundant in the region, are used as a material to remove starch from the dough. In ancient times, Ajrakh was printed on both sides. The herders who traditionally wore Ajrakh left home before sunrise and could not distinguish the right side from the other side in the dark because there was no electricity at that time. That's why Ajrakh was printed in both sides.
