Gajraj Indian Dhurrie Block Print Pillow Cover

A heritage textile shaped by block and loom

The Gajraj Indian Dhurrie Block Print Pillow Cover is crafted from handwoven cotton dhurrie and finished with traditional block printing techniques practiced across Rajasthan. “Gajraj,” meaning elephant king, references the strength and symbolism often found in Indian decorative arts. Each pillow cover carries the character of hand-applied pattern, subtle tonal variation, and the tactile weight of flatwoven cotton.
