Ajrakh Print Sarees – Timeless Artistry in Every Drape
India’s handloom heritage is a canvas of diverse weaving and printing traditions, each carrying centuries of history. Among them, Ajrakh printing stands out for its deep cultural roots, natural dyes, and geometric beauty. At Rewa Handloom (www.rewahandloom.com), this heritage comes alive through exquisite Ajrakh Print Sarees, crafted for women who value authenticity and elegance.
The Legacy of Ajrakh Printing
The word Ajrakh comes from the Arabic word Azrak, meaning “blue,” as indigo is the signature color of this craft. Practiced for over 4,000 years in Gujarat and Rajasthan, Ajrakh printing uses hand-carved wooden blocks and natural dyes to create symmetrical patterns. Every step, from resist-dyeing to repeated block impressions, is done by hand, making each saree a piece of wearable art.
What Makes Ajrakh Print Sarees Special?

- Sustainable Fashion – Crafted using age-old eco-conscious methods.
- Unique Appeal – No two Ajrakh sarees are exactly alike due to the handmade process.
