 A Pure Ajrakh Hand block Dola Silk Saree is a beautiful and exquisite textile that combines several unique aspects of Indian craftsmanship.

Pure Ajrakh: Ajrakh is an ancient and intricate form of hand block printing originating from the Kutch region of Gujarat, India.  

Geometric and symmetrical patterns: Often featuring motifs inspired by nature 

Natural dyes: Traditionally, Ajrakh uses dyes derived from natural sources like indigo, madder root, turmeric, and iron.   

Multiple stages of printing and dyeing: The process is lengthy and can involve numerous steps of resist printing, dyeing, and washing, resulting in rich and layered colors.   

Double-sided printing: Authentic Ajrakh is often printed on both sides of the fabric with precision, using intricately carved wooden blocks.   

Handblock: This refers to the printing technique where skilled artisans use hand-carved wooden blocks to transfer the intricate Ajrakh patterns onto the fabric. Each color and motif requires a separate block, and the precision of the printing relies on the artisan’s skill.   

Dola Silk: Dola silk is a type of art silk or blended silk fabric.

Lightweight and soft texture: It drapes beautifully and is comfortable to wear.   

Subtle sheen: It has a gentle luster that adds to the elegance of the saree.   

Durability: While soft, it’s generally a resilient fabric.
