2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Ajrakh is more than a textile—it’s a living heritage passed down through 500 years in Khatri communities of Kutch (Gujarat) and Barmer (Rajasthan). The word Ajrakh comes from "Azrak," meaning blue or indigo in Arabic, reflecting its deep-rooted connection to natural indigo dyeing.

Each piece takes up to 14 days to create, involving intricate processes: mordanting, resist printing, washing, and sun-dyeing—using plant-based colors like turmeric, pomegranate, and indigo. This Ajrakh Stole & Band honors that legacy, brought to you by Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi, a brand dedicated to reviving ancestral weaving and printing arts while empowering rural artisans.

Our collaboration ensures every thread tells a story—of patience, culture, and sustainable beauty.
