About Bandhani
Bandhani or Tie and Dye is one of the traditional methods of printing textiles in India. Though, its origins are obscure, it is strongly believed to have been brought to Kutch from Sindh by Muslim Khatris who are still the largest community involved in the craft.
The process and preparation of Tie and Dye
is very simple, yet very time consuming. The cloth, usually thin
cotton, silk or wool is folded several times and a design is marked out
in the form of dots. The craftsmen then pulls on a small area of cloth,
where each dot is placed and winds thread tightly around the protruding
cloth to form a knot or bhindi. When dyed, the small area beneath the
thread resist the dye leaving an undyed dot. This is usually carried
out in several stages starting with a light color like yellow, then
after tying some more knots, a darker color is used and so on.
When the cloth has been dipped in the dye for the final time and dried,
the folds of the cloth are pulled apart in a particular way releasing
the knots and revealing the pattern. The result is usually a deep
colored cloth with dots of various colors forming a pattern.
Bandhani was introduced in Jamnagar some 400 years ago. Today, the city along with Ahmedabad has emerged as one of the principal centers of Bandhani.
