Bandhej
Bandhej (Bandhani) was introduced in Jamnagar when the city was founded 400 years
ago. This city has now become one of the principal centers of bandhej, creating
new pattern and experimenting with modern colors.
Bandhej is the Art of royalty - The tie-dyed fabrics of Gujarat are perhaps the
best produced in India. Over the years the BANDHEJ label has become synonymous with
a distinct style in traditional clothing. It has gained a great reputation for the
variety, styling, specially developed fabrics, fit, finish and quality.
Bandhej is different from patola as the tye and dye process is done after the fabric
is woven. Tye and dye fabrics of Bandhej's are popular among the women of Gujarat,
khatiavar, Rajasthan and Sindh. It is called pattern dyeing (resist method of printing)
which is one of the most preventive method of printing. Part of the fabric is dyed
and dyed with the dipping method, rubia, silk, linen and cotton threads are used
for dyeing the material. Thickness of the thread depends on the thickness of the
fabric. In Rajasthan usually women are engaged in doing this work.
The utility items made of this method are dupattas, kurta's, turbans, quilts, ghagras,
sarees. Also cusion covers, table mats, covers are quite popular. Colors used in
bandhej are very bright and multi coloured which are auspicious and are known as
a symbol of youth and romance.The designed are based on the shapes of animals, birds,
flowers, dancing figures etc.
Bandhej is a dyeing practiced mainly in India. (Bhagyoday fashions) Jaipur, Jodhpur

means lot of colors. Mainly bright colors like red, black, green and yellow are
