Ajrak is a name given to a unique form of blockprinted shawls and tiles found in the Saraiki belt (Saraikistan/Saraiki Waseb),[3] Pakistan.[4] These shawls display special designs and patterns made using block printing by stamps.[5] Common colours used while making these patterns may include but are not limited to blue, red, black, yellow and green۔ Dark blue colour is the dominated one in the saraiki culture. Saraiki Ajrak is dark blue.[1] The blue colour makes it distinctive among other Ajraks. Saraiki nationalists designed the Saraiki Ajrak. Nationalists captured the heart of Saraiki belt, which Saraikies are proud on. The Sindhi Ajrak was used long ago. Some people call it sajrk, but the majority know the name of the "Saraiki Ajrak".[6]
