Bandhani (Hindi: ??????? ) is a kind of tie-dye textile decorated with pulling a cloth with finger nails into many small bindings which form a figurative design. The term bandhani is derived from the Sanskrit root bandh ("to bind, bind"). Currently most of the Bandhini manufacturing centers are located in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Sindh, Punjab region and in Tamil Nadu where it is known as Sungudi . The earliest evidence of Bandhani dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization where the immersion was performed in the early 4000 B.C. The earliest example of the most pervasive species of Bandhani dots can be seen in the 6th century paintings depicting the life of Buddha found on the walls of Cave 1 in Ajanta. Bandhani is also known as Bandhej Saree, Bandhni, Piliya, and Chungidi in Tamil and regional dialects. Other binding techniques include Mothra, Ekdali and Shikari depending on the way in which the fabric is tied.

Overview

The art of Bandhana is a highly skilled process. This technique involves dyeing the fabric that is tightly bound with the yarn at some point, resulting in various patterns such as Chandrakala, Bavan Baug, Shikari and so on; depending on the way in which the fabric is tied. The main colors used in Bandhana are yellow, red, blue, green and black.

The main colors used in Bandhana are natural. Because Bandhani is a tie and dye process, death is done by hand and hence the best colors and combinations are possible in Bandhanis.

Bandhani's work has been exclusively performed by the Khatri community of Kutchh and Saurashtra. One meter long cloth can have thousands of small knots known as 'Bheendi' in the local language ('Gujarati'). These knots form the design after opening after coloring with bright colors. Traditionally, the final product can be classified into 'khombhi', 'Ghar Chola', 'Chandrakhani', 'Shikari', 'Chowkidaar', 'Ambadaal' and other categories.
