Ajrakh Celebration of Nature:
Ajrakh printing celebrates nature amazingly. This is evident in the aesthetics of the unification of its colours as well as motifs.
The traditional colours found in ajrakh printing are deep, which symbolise nature. Crimson red symbolizes the earth, and indigo blue symbolises twilight. Black and white are used with a view to outline motifs and define symmetrical designs.
Although the use of eco-friendly synthetic dyes is prevalent, the use of traditional natural dyes is being resumed gradually. Indigo is obtained from the indigo plant. Craftsmen used indigo plants growing profusely along the Indus river.
Red is acquired from alizarin found in the roots of madder plants. Black is obtained from iron shavings, millet flour and molasses with the addition of ground tamarind seeds to thicken the dye.
The contemporary ajrakh prints have intensely vibrant contrasting colours like rust, yellow and orange.
Mangalgiri Pure silk Cotton saree fabric is buttery smooth and drapes really well on the body. The shine and lustre of the fabric is eye catching and makes you stand out in the crowd.
100% handmade with love in Indian villages.
