The ajrakh craft was practised by the Khatri community, living on the banks of the Indus river (in what today is Pakistan). These families migrated to Kutch in the 16th century, when the King of Kutch recognized their craft and invited them to settle in the barren uninhabited land, along with dyers, printers, potters and embroiderers.

They settled in Ajrakhpur, a village built in coordination with relief NGOs. There are over one hundred families living in Ajrakhpur, and 30 official block printing workshops; almost all of the families in Ajrakhpur generate their primary income from Ajrakh.
