The word Ajrakh is derived from the word azurakh, meaning blue in Persian. The blue in the patterns symbolize the sky, the red the twilight and the night is represented by black. The white designs strewn across the fabric are reminiscent of the eternal light of the stars.They are raw, textured & slightly imperfect, coming directly from the weavers/artisans of Kutch, Gujarat. In the history of the people of Kutch, their character and definition is imprinted in the Ajrakh technique that is closely interwoven with the sturdy river water. And so Ajrakhpur was born !
