See also: Sindhis and Sindhi culture
Ajrak (Sindhi: اجرڪ), also known as Ajrakh, is a unique form of textile block-printing found primarily in Sindh, Pakistan[1] and the village of Ajrakhpur in the bordering Kutch district of India.[2] Ajrak textiles like shawls or dresses display special designs and patterns made using block printing with stamps. Ajrak is a symbol of Sindhi culture and traditions.[3] Ajrak prints are also famous in neighbouring areas of India, in Gujarat, due to their influence from the Indus Valley civilization.[4] Apart from Sindh and Kutch, recently, a Saraiki version of the Ajrak called Sajarak was created and is found in South Punjab, Pakistan.
