Bandhani or Bandhini or Bandhej, a highly-skilled
process involving Tie-Dye method, has the base fabric 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, stripes, waves or squares.
Dark Colours are employed for dyeing the ‘Bandhani’ and could be organic or
man-made chemicals. 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 Bandhani.
Saurashtra in Gujarat, and Rajasthan again have their own style of Bandhani, unique to their
regions. Designs and colours differ, with significance attached to certain
colours. There is a special attraction to the Leheria Bandhej shalwar suits 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 fabrics and on
long and broad canvases.
Captivating process of the Bandhani salwar
kamiz
The
process of getting the unique Leheria or wave design 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.
