About the Craft:

The word “bandhani'' comes from the Sanskrit word “bandha” which means, “to tie” and refers to the ancient Indian craft of tie and dye. The tie and dye technique can be done on any material, but the colors are most vibrant when the tying is done on fabric like georgette and silk. Bandhani is an extremely intricate craft, in which the fabric is tied very tightly with thread at several different points, according to the motif that is printed on the fabric using carved wooden blocks. The placement and quantity of the knots, as well as the way the cloth is tied, determines the pattern when the fabric is opened.

Product Care:
