BANDHEJ

Bandhini brings to mind a riot of colours, a maze of intricate designs in flowing fabrics. This traditional craft is widely used in Rajasthan to design decorative patterns created by skilled artists with the help of dyes.
 
In this unique brainwave , the furtive lies in the process of sketching a design with chalk or geru and then tying fabric with thread or twine in to knots in intricate patterns with the help of nails, beads and grain. The knots are sometimes as small as a pinhead, this deals with a steady care in making knots. This acts as a prevention against seepage of colour into the tied areas during dyeing.
 
Moreover, each portion is then separately and uniformly coloured, while untying the knots; the glory of pattern emerges. This old-fashioned ability lies in the deft hands of the Bandhini workers of Rajasthan by giving new lease to them.
 
The splashed circle and other motifs make a perfect tie-and-dye effect. In addition, the art of embellished fabrics with embroidery using thread-work, mirror work or gold brocade is prevalent.
 
The patterns depicts a natural inspiration say, the wave of sea , shimmering and rippling water, flowers and creepers to animals and birds also the geometrical designs are very recognized.
 
Rajasthan's Bandhini
The most highly valued delicacy and intricacy of Bandhini design is 'Chunari'. The magical tie and dye design is further mixed with some holy motif and also animal as well as bird motif like elephant, peacock etc. These designs are one of the famed ensemble during festivals and weddings.
 
The saris are in diverse hues - universal colours, different combinations, intricate patterns, attractive motifs and lots more. The multi-coloured technique is practiced in scores of fabrics say - cotton, chiffon, georgette, silk, satin, crepe, south silk etc.
