Bandhani or Bandhni or Bandhej, a highly-skilled process
involving the Tie-Dye method, has the base fabric first tied at several points
by threads and then the threads are dyed. The manner in which the tying is done
decides the resulting pattern, which could be Leheriya, Mothra, Ekdali or
Shikari.

Patterns which emerge are generally dots, strips, waves or squares.
Fabrics like Bandhani sarees are made of cotton, silk, crepe, georgette,
chiffon, satin, supernet or such. Dark Colours employed for dyeing the ‘Bandhini’
could be natural or artificial. Principally applied colours being red, green,
blue, black or yellow, the background is generally red or black.
The Khatri community of
Kutch in Gujarat is known to excel in this art. Works
like, tying of thousands of miniscule knots on the Bhandhanifabric that spread
and form exquisite designs on opening after the dyeing process, speak volumes for
their skill. Bhuj, Mandvi in Kutch and Saurashtra in Gujarat, India, are known
for their individual varieties in Bhandhani sarees.
Rajasthan again has its own
style of Bandhani, unique to its region. Designs and colours differ, with
significance attached to certain colours. Red conveys a newly married bride,
yellow for a recently become mother, are typical examples.
There is a special
attraction to the Leheria Bandhej sarees in the Bandhini range known for their unique wave
designs, evolving from a brilliant exercise of the tie and dye art that has
created waves in the fashion world for the simplicity and appealing look on
plain coloured fabrics. Leheria work is done on silk or cotton fabric and on
long and broad canvases like turbans and sarees.
The process of getting the unique Leheria saree involves rolling
the fabric and tying resists at various spots on the cloth and then rolled
diagonally from one corner to the opposite selvage. 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.

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.
