Special Technique/Craft:Ajrakh: The authentic Ajrakh is printed on both sides by a method known as resist printing. This form of printing is done by hand with hand-carved wooden blocks. Several different blocks are used to give the characteristic repeated patterning. Traditional 'Ajrakh' involves various stages of dyeing and resist printing using natural dyes and mordants. Indigo and madder are the primary colours that are used for dyeing. The resist and some colours are printed on the cloth using carved wooden blocks. These blocks are carved with intricate symmetrical patterns so that the same block can be used for both sides of the clot.Design:Colour: teal and brownStripedMandarin collarLong, roll-up sleevesStraight shape with regular styleAbove knee with straight hemMachine weave regular cottonRegion: Rajasthan and GujaratCraft: Ajrakh Hand Block PrintDisclaimer: This is a handcrafted kurta, and is prone to colour bleeding due to use of natural dyesThe print on the garment might be uneven owning to the handcrafted nature of the product, adding essence to the garment.
