Saraiki ajrak

Saraiki ajrak (Saraiki: سرائیکی اجرک), is a form of block-printed textile traditionally worn in the Saraiki-speaking regions of southern Punjab, Pakistan. It is part of the wider ajrak-style textile tradition historically associated with the Indus River basin, a region that was home to the ancient Indus Valley civilisation. In contemporary usage, ajrak has become a cultural symbol of Saraiki culture and identity, particularly during events such as Saraiki Culture Day and Saraiki Ajrak Day.
