The bottom is a quieter all-over jaal, an interlocking trellis in madder, indigo and cream that lets the kurta lead. The dupatta ties the two together: a diamond field, a many-layered border, and an indigo end panel finished with hand-knotted tassels.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAjrakh is slow by nature. Each length passes through repeated rounds of resist printing, dyeing and washing.Small irregularities in the print, a motif that sits slightly off-register, a shade that shifts across the length: these are the marks of the hand, and of the cloth's making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe bottom fabric is quieter by design, madder red scattered with widely spaced floral butis so it never competes with the kurta. The dupatta ties the set together with a columned border of feathered leaves, a deep indigo-black, and hand-knotted indigo tassels along the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAjrakh is a slow craft — sixteen to twenty rounds of printing, washing, dyeing and sun-drying, with the fabric returning to the river and the sun between each stage. Slight variations in the print register and colour depth are not flaws.
