Tie n Dye is also called Bandhani. It originated some 5000 years ago has remained in production ever since. Most of the bandhani produced in India is made in Kutch or Saurashtra. The process is simple, but time-consuming. The cloth, usually thin cotton, silk or wool, is folded several times and a design marked out in the form of dots. Thread is tightly wound around the cloth to form a knot or bindi. When dyed the small area beneath the thread resists the dye leaving an undyed dot. The result is a usually deep coloured cloth with dots of various colours forming a pattern.
