KARACHI: The Sindh Culture Day will be celebrated today (Saturday) with great passion and zest across the province. The people of Sindh swiftly came out of the Eidul Azha festivity and were seen busy in purchasing traditional Sindhi clothes, caps and Ajraks while the female shoppers preferred to buy ‘Sucee’, dress made of Ajrak, hand made Gajj, Tano and Jhimee Poti.
All political parties of the province, including the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz, Jeay Sindh Tehreek, Sindh Taraqqi Pasand Party, Sindh National Front, Sindh United Party and Muttahida Qaumi Movement have also announced to celebrate the day.
The day will be marked with various activities such as rallies, corner meetings, musical nights, Mach Kachharees (folk gatherings) and Sufi musical nights.
Sindhi Topi: These simple yet multifaceted arithmetical divisions highlighted with hand-stitched mirrors Sindhi caps are traditional and stylish.
Since these are handmade, no two pieces will be exactly alike adding to the exclusivity and charm of these hand-embroidered articles. Sizes, colour, shades and patterns may vary slightly from piece to piece because of the hand-made element.
Ajrak: The true origin of the word ‘Ajrak’ is unknown. In Arabic, Ajrak means blue or indigo (indigo is a tree, whose leaves drop blue colour, which is dominantly used in Ajrak).
It is worth mentioning that Sindh has a history of producing indigo and cotton cloth in abundance and both the products used to be exported to the Middle East.
