Craft & Story

Bandhej work, also known as Bandhani, is a traditional Indian tie-dye technique where fabric is tightly tied at various points before dyeing to create intricate patterns. Predominantly practiced in Rajasthan and Gujarat, it features vibrant colors and unique designs like dots, waves, and motifs. Bandhej is commonly used in sarees, dupattas, and turbans. Gota Patti is a traditional embroidery technique from Rajasthan, India, involving the use of gold or silver ribbon (gota) to create elaborate patterns. These ribbons are skillfully stitched onto fabric to form intricate motifs, adding a metallic sheen. It's commonly used to embellish sarees, lehengas, and dupattas.
