Ajrakh on Handwoven Maheshwari: Red

“This beautiful hand-block printed Ajrakh on handwoven silk cotton Maheshwari saree, called Ekatva, is a true celebration of geometric harmony.

The body features a deep saturated red base with an interplay of alternating vertical patterns—one with delicate thin white stripes and the other with a traditional block motif placed within a stripe, filled with striking blue and black hues. This balanced contrast merges contemporary geometric sensibilities with classic design elements, creating a visually striking composition.

The pallu carries forward the deep red base and alternating pattern structure but transitions into a finer interplay of smaller, alternating filled Jharokha patterns paired with a simplified Heera-inspired print, outlined in white with blue and black filling. The thoughtful evolution of patterns adds depth and movement to the drape. Framing the saree is a Maheshwari border, inspired by the Heera (diamond) motif, lending it a regal yet understated elegance. The pallu ends in beautiful handmade blue tassels. This saree doesn’t include a full blouse piece but a smaller fabric for patchwork in a blouse.

Ideal for special occasions or gatherings, this saree reflects the artistry of two textile craft forms—Maheshwari weaving and Ajrakh block prints.
