Sajarak also known as Saraiki ajrak (Saraiki: سرائیکی اجرک) is a form of block-printing, inspired by the Sindhi Ajrak, found in South Punjab in Pakistan. It has become a symbol of the Saraiki culture and traditions.[1][2][3]
Description[edit]
The Saraiki Ajrak is a recent form of Ajrak among Saraikis. It is inspired by the neighbouring Sindhi Ajrak.
Sajarak's name is derived from the original Ajrak which is the Sindhi version of the block-printed shawls and tiles which are found in Sindh, Pakistan.
These shawls display special designs and patterns made using block printing by stamps.[4] Common colours used while making these patterns may include but are not limited to blue, red, black and green. Cyan colour is the dominating colour in Saraiki culture. The Sajarak is mostly cyan and sometimes blue. The cyan colour makes it distinctive among other ajraks. Saraiki nationalists designed the Sajarak. Nationalists captured the heart of the Saraiki belt, which Saraikies are proud of. The Sindhi Ajrak was used long ago, but now some people call it Saraiki ajrak, but the majority of the Saraikis, know it as the "Sajarak".

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
