Bandhani Tie Dye When the Khatri community came to Kachch, India from Sindh, Pakistan, they brought along with them the ancient art of Ajrakh hand block printing that has long served as a defining practice for their people. Printers carefully prepare and decorate lengths of fabric using a specific design language in a stylized geometrical form. Their natural dyes are made from such products as jaggery and gram flour for black, alum and tamarind for red. Abdul Rahim Khatri began learning the craft at age 15 from his father and has since gained international recognition for his work.
