The unique quality of ajrakh is that it is block-printed with identical impressions on both sides of the fabric, making it reversible with the same level of print depth and colour on both sides. Due to the requirement for a perfect pattern match on both sides, it takes significant expertise and patience.


An ajrakh is made using a time-consuming and challenging resist printing method. It can take a month to manufacture the cloth, which goes through 16 phases of processing, numerous printing, and dying. Wooden blocks are used to print the geometric patterns, which are then dyed with natural mineral and plant colours indigo, madder, or alizarine red.
