What Makes A Bandhani Saree Unique & Special

Both the history and the craft of Bandhani are fascinating. Bandhani fabric is made through a lengthy and laborious process that requires each dot to be knotted individually in order to form designs before the fabric is coloured.

• Before dying, the fabric is first cleaned to eliminate contaminants.

• After that, depending on the demands of the design, it is folded twice or four times before the pattern is printed.

• There are two different kinds of dots: mathawali bheendi, which forms a fine ring, and aniwali bheendi, which is the standard dot.

• Dheri, a strong cotton thread, bhungali, and naklo are the three instruments needed to tie the cloth (thimble).
