Tie Dye Shibori by Master Abdullah Khatri

Bandhani is derived from the Sanskrit word “Bandha” meaning “to tie”. It is a traditional dyeing method indigenous to the states of Gujrat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. The fabric is tied very tightly plucking tiny pinches of the fabric by fingernails to create floral or figurative designs and then dye them into natural dye colours.

. The tied parts retain their original colour and the remaining portion of the fabric results with colourful patterns. This is similar to the shibori technique of Japan. There are various methods of tie dye and each process results in a unique pattern.
