ОписаниеKutch and Saurashtra are the centres for both the fine and the coarser variety of bandhani in Gujarat. Very fine bandhani odhani, such as this silk example, and sari lengths tie-dyed on silk or good quality cotton are worn as wedding garments by women of the richer mechant communiities, landlords and higher classes of craftsmen.
“Rajasthan and Gujarat are known for their production of fine ‘bandhani’. More colours are used in Rajasthan than in Gujarat, with many of them spot dyed by hand, instead of immersion in a dye-bath. The finished cloths are sold with their ties intact to show that they are genuine ‘bandhani’ and not printed imitations. They are worn by the rural women of western India as ‘odhani’ (shawl).
Fine ‘bandhani’ are produced on silk in Gujarat where they are worn as wedding garments (saris and ‘odhani’) by women of the richer merchant communities, landlords and higher classes of craftsmen.” (Past, Present , Beyond: Re-nascence of an Art Collection, Page 41)
Bandhani is an Indian tie-dye technique, sometimes called ‘chunari’ in Gujarat.
