Small madder and indigo geometry repeats endlessly over the black ground of this Ajrakh dolla silk saree, printed block by block in the resist tradition of Kutch. The tight repeat gives the body a jewelled density that suits the soft lustre of dolla silk. A broad gold zari border edged with elephants anchors the drape, and the pallu opens into a wide expanse of gold. Light travels across the pleats with every step. Beautiful for wedding functions, receptions and festival evenings.

The craft
Ajrakh Dola Silk
Dola silk is a smooth, lustrous silk favoured in Kutch for pieces that need more shine than modal can give. On it the Khatri printers of Ajrakhpur lay the same sixteen stage Ajrakh process they have practised for generations, resist printing with lime and gum and dyeing in madder root, fermented indigo and iron black, washing the cloth between every round. The printed body is then paired with a woven zari border and pallu, so the saree carries hand printed Ajrakh geometry alongside the glow of gold. It is the festive end of the Ajrakh tradition.
