Ajrakh block printing, practiced in Ajrakhpur, is a centuries-old art form from Gujarat, India, that involves intricate geometric and floral designs hand-stamped onto fabric using natural dyes.
Tamarind seed powder is mixed with alum and then boiled for one hour to produce a printing paste for the red areas of the design.
Note – There might be a very slight difference in the red colour or block print pattern as every piece is one of a kind.
