AJRAK
An Art of Block Printing
The Ajrak is an essential
part of the apparel of a Sindhi person. Men use it as a turban, a
cummerbund and wound it around the shoulders. Women use it as a dupatta
and chaddar, as a shawl and sometimes as a makeshift swing for children.
The Ajrak is usually about 2.5-3meters. It is patterned in intense jewel
like colors. The dominant colors are rich crimson and a deep indigo. A
little bit of white and black is also used to give definition to the
geometric patterns.
