    Bandhani is a tie-dye technique originating in India where intricate patterns are created by tightly binding fabric before dyeing. The tied areas resist the dye, leaving the pattern in undyed portions. It has been practiced for over 1500 years in parts of India like Rajasthan and Gujarat. Traditional motifs include flowers, bells, and vines in red, yellow, and pink colors symbolizing celebrations. Today, bandhani fabric is popular for clothing and home goods and designers are adapting the technique for modern fashion.
