Bandhani Suits - A Rajasthani Legacy

The alluring art form called Bandhani is an astonishing skill. The process includes dying a fabric tied tightly with a thread at many points, thus producing a variety of beautiful and elegant designs. The designs are produced in the formation in which cloth is tied. Accuracy and patience, both are needed for the same. Bandhani has beautiful ethnic wears to offer. Mainly colours used in Bandhani suits are red, yellow, green, blue and black. The most popular ones are white and red which gives an eccentric and beautiful appeal to the pattern. Over the decades, many colours and many designs have evolved in this beautiful vintage traditional art form.
The colours used in Bandhani suits are both natural as well as artificial. Generally, dark colours are used as the pattern compliments better with dark and lively colours in the background. In the early days, dyes were extracted from berries, flowers, roots, and leaves. Rajasthan produces a refined quality of bandhej. Places in Rajasthan like Sikar, Bhilwara, Udaipur, Jaipur Bikaner, Ajmer, and Jamnagar in Gujarat are the popularly known centres producing odhnis(Dupattas), suits, sarees and turbans specialising in Bandhani. Different communities in Rajasthan have for eras practised the tradition of tying turbans with different designs of bandhani on their heads. Each colour used in Bandhani suit conveys a specific meaning in Bandhej. If red is worn, It signifies a newly wedded bride. It is believed that adorning a Bandhani suit can bring a good future to a bride. Also, if yellow is worn it depicts a newly become blessed mother.
