Ajrak  




The people of Sindh have a deep reverence for Ajrak. From birth to marriage, until death, Ajrak celebrates all significant events of the life cycle. This cloth has many different usages in everyday life. It is worn as a turban, a shawl, spread as a bed-sheet or tablecloth and when worn out, it is recycled as a hammock for a baby, covers for a bullock cart and most commonly used as a backing to patchwork quilts. It is used and reused till threadbare.
