The name is derived from ‘azarak' which means blue in Arabic & Persian. Ajrak is a legacy of text. This fabric takes skill & patience to make.

It is patterned in intense jewel like colours. The dominant colours are rich crimson and a deep indigo. A little bit of white and black is also used to give definition to the geometric patterns. Ajrak colours come out the best on cotton fabric. Earlier only cotton fabric was being used for Ajrak printing but these days silk is also used, but the colours on silk do not come out as rich as they do on cotton. Traditional Ajrak colours are red, black, and indigo. These days yellow, orange and rust are also being used for a more contemporary look.
