Leheria or Leheriya is a traditional Tie and Dye art
practised in Rajasthan, India. It is
part of the larger traditional art known as Bandhani and hence you can also
find Leheria Bandhej being used. Leheria comes from the word Leher meaning
wave, since the tie and dye process applied to white fabrics, results in
brightly coloured complex wave or Leher designs. Leheria
work is done on
silk or cotton fabric and on long and broad canvases like turbans and sarees.
The process involves rolling
the fabric and tying resists at various spots on the cloth rolled diagonally
from one corner to the opposite selvage. Selvage is the self finished edges in
a fabric as a result of looping back the thread from the weft (perpendicular
thread to the waft threads) at the end of each row length of the fabric that
prevents the fabric from unravelling or fraying.
This rolled fabric is then
dyed according to the usual tie and dye process in bright colours. When the
fabric is unfolded after dyeing, it leaves a lot of stripes or other shapes at
intervals across the fabric in a design. Several tie and dye processes are
undergone if required, to create a myriad of colourful stripes across the
fabric length. Indigo is used in the last few stages of the process.
The appeal lies in the way
the folding and tying of resists is manipulated before dyeing to create
colourful striking outcomes of extraordinary designs.
Mothara is a special ‘lentil design’, popular
and achieved by the re-rolling of the unfolded first stage in the opposite
direction and the resist tied at the diagonal end and repeating the dye
process. The resulting checkered design has un-dyed areas at regular intervals
which are the size of a lentil. Leheria turbans are very popular in Rajasthan
and some other parts of India. Leheria Sarees and salwar
kameez have wooed the fashion world with their unique designer prints.
The variety of Leheria Prints sarees at Unnati Silks is interesting. You
have half half sarees where one half would have zari mango bootis and the other
half would be covered by some pattern in Tie & Dye. The complementary
designer pallu would have a portion plain and the other part having Bandhini
designs. Georgette half half sarees with the Leheria Prints on both but with different patterns
and that to on contrast colours. The alternating patterns all across the length
is a mesmerizing sight. A third variety has plain art saree with a single motif
distributed sparsely but the Pallu having the Leheria pattern in a nice colourful spread.
