Ajrakh Sarees – Embrace Tradition and Elegance

Surat and Kutch are where tradition weaves its magic — and at Vastranand we capture that legacy in our Ajrakh Sarees Collection. Ajrakh is an ancient block-printing technique practised in Gujarat that uses natural dyes and intricate geometric and floral patterns. Each Ajrakh saree is a hand-crafted work of art that brings earthy colours, timeless motifs, and sustainable craftsmanship to your wardrobe.

Immerse Yourself in the Allure of Ajrakh

Ajrakh is more than fabric — it’s a narrative of culture and craft. Traditional Ajrakh palettes celebrate indigo, madder red, and warm earthy tones extracted from plants and minerals. The block-printing process, involving repeated stamping, resist-dyeing, and careful washing, gives every saree its unique depth and character.
