Bandhani is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Banda’ which means to tie. The art of Bandhani is a highly skilled process that involves dyeing a fabric, which has been hand tied tightly with a thread at several points, thus producing a variety of patterns. This extremely slow process has been produced at Kala Raksha, an artisan collective supporting and promoting traditional Kutch crafts, using only natural indigo dyes and hand embroided by the Rabari community in Kutch.
