Rithmala | Ajrakh Prints on Modal Silk

Rithmala | Ajrakh Prints on Modal Silk

True to its roots yet strikingly modern, this pure modal silk saree brings Ajrakh hand block print to the forefront. At 6.3 meters, it’s designed for effortless tradition with contemporary flair.

Ajrakh cloth carries many meanings. The popular story amongst local printers is that Ajrakh means “keep it today.” It is also linked to azrakh, the Arabic word for indigo, a blue plant which thrived in the arid ecology of Kachchh until the 1956 earthquake. Ajrakh patterns use complex geometry to create starry constellations in indigo, madder, black, and white across lengths of cloth. The shapes and motifs of Ajrakh echo the architectural forms of Islamic architecture’s intricate jali windows and trefoil arches.
