Peaks Saree

Anarsh Musa Khatri

5.5 meters long

This is a traditional piece made using handmade cotton. A true mastery in sarees shows in its intricate patterns and unique design. The peak pattern was carefully drawn by hand in order to make a traditional pattern new again. Anarsh tells us that the biggest challenge was to print in three different colors, because it requires precision to make sure so many colors come out crisp and well. This saree is a testament to his skill. He "likes to make the impossible possible!"

How was this piece made

The process of making Ajrakh Blockprint

Printing an Ajrakh requires time and patience. Printers prepare fabric for printing by tearing un-dyed fabric into 9 meter lengths, washing it to remove starches, wax and impurities and then dying it with myrobalam. From a collection that may be up to 100 years old, artisans select a wooden block carved with traditional designs.
