Bandhej or bandhani- Tie and Dye

The Technique of Tie & Dye 

The technique of tying and dyeing is probably the oldest form of creating patterns on a piece of cloth, all it includes is tying the cloth with thread and then dyeing it... It is recognized as the oldest form of decorating textiles in Central Asia.
This is not as easy as it seems to be...it actually requires a mastery over dyeing.

The cloth after dyeing is washed. Mostly it is also dipped in a mordant so that the absorption of the dye is made easy. The cloth is folded first, first lengthwise, then width wise into four folds. Before actually applying the color, the patterns are indicated all over the surface by using blocks dipped in geru(a red color mud). The cloth is then pinched with the left hand, one knot follows another, using the same thread. After the section which are to be retained in the background color has been tied, the process of dyeing comes into action....Slowly the cloth is dyed(color by color) to its darkest color, which is, on most occasions a brilliant red, purple, dark green and also a deep ultramarine blue etc. In a sari, if the border is to be created than the sari is tied with thick threads and then covered by a plastic sheet, which is tied firmly to the sari with thick threads...Then, the border of the sari is dipped into the color
This is the traditional technique used for tying and dyeing...!
