Traditional Saraiki Sajarak

Sajarak also known as Saraiki ajrak (Saraiki: سرائیکی اجرک) is a form of block-printing, inspired by the Sindhi Ajrak, found in South Punjab in Pakistan. It has become a symbol of the Saraiki culture and traditions.[1][2][3]

Description

Saraiki Sajarak

The Saraiki Ajrak is a recent form of Ajrak among Saraikis. It is inspired by the neighbouring Sindhi Ajrak.

Sajarak's name is derived from the original Ajrak which is the Sindhi version of the block-printed shawls and tiles which are found in Sindh, Pakistan.

These shawls display special designs and patterns made using block printing by stamps.

Saraiki nationalists designed the Sajarak. Nationalists captured the heart of the Saraiki belt, which Saraikies are proud of. The Sindhi Ajrak
was used long ago, but now some people call it Saraiki ajrak, but the majority of the Saraikis, know it as the "Sajarak".
