Bandhani

Bandhani is a traditional textile technique from India involving tying small sections of fabric tightly with thread before dyeing. This process creates resist areas that resist the dye, resulting in intricate, characteristic patterns like dots and geometric shapes. Once dyed, the ties are removed, revealing beautifully detailed and vibrant designs. Bandhani is often used in making sarees, turbans, and other garments, and is highly valued for its craftsmanship, symbolism, and cultural significance. The process demands skill and patience, reflecting the rich artisan heritage of regions like Gujarat and Rajasthan.
