BANDHANI...



The word Bandhani/ Bandhni comes from the Hindi/ Sanskrit words ‘Bandhna’ and ‘Bandha’, meaning ‘tying’ or ‘to tie’. Bandhej is a variation of this word.

Earliest references to this technique of picking the cloth with finger-nails and tying, before dyeing, are found in Indus Valley Civilization records, dating back to 4000 B.C. Even the Buddhist paintings, dating back to the 6th Century, in the famous Ajanata Caves have Bandhani references. Texts dating back to the times of Alexander – the great also extolled Indian Bandhani.
THE CULTURAL CONNECTS OF BANDHANI
Bandhani is considered very auspicious, especially in Rajasthan and Gujarat. From weddings to births, Bandhani finds a sacred association everywhere. Legends have it that wearing Bandhani Sarees invites good luck. There was a time when all brides in Western India wore Wedding Sarees or Bridal Lehenga Cholis decorated with fine Bandhani. The Gujarati Gharchola (the Bridal Saree gifted from groom’s family) and Panetar (Gujarati Wedding Ensemble) have delicate Bandhani work. In Rajasthan, the varying Bandhani patterns and colours of the turbans worn by menfolk indicate their castes and communities. Bandhani is also used to convey life stages. While red represents marriage, yellow signifies motherhood and green signifies fertility.
