Bandhani is a type of tie-dye textile decorated primarily by plucking the cloth with the fingernails into many tiny bindings that form a figurative design. The term ''bandhani'' is derived from the Sanskrit word ''banda'' ("to tie").〔 〕 〔Gujarat State Gazetteers: Junagadh (1971)()〕 Today most Bandhini making centers are situated in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Sindh, Punjab region〔Feliccia Yacopino (1977) Threadlines Pakistan ()〕 and in Tamil Nadu where it's known as ''Chungidi''.〔Nasreen Askari, Liz Arthur, Paisley Museum and Art Galleries Merrell Holberton, (1999) Uncut cloth () 〕 〔 〕 Earliest evidence of Bandhani dates back to Indus Valley Civilization where dyeing was done as early as 4000 B.C. The earliest example of the most pervasive type of ''Bandhani dots'' can be seen in the 6th century paintings depicting the life of Buddha found on the wall of Cave 1 at Ajanta. Bandhani is also known as Bandhej, Bandhni, Piliya, and Chungidi in Tamil as per the regional delicate. Leheria or leheriya derives from the word lahar, meaning wave is also another unique form of tie dye technique used in Rajasthan. Other tying techniques include Mothra, Ekdali and Shikari depending on the manner in which the cloth is tied. The final products are known with various names like Khombi, Ghar Chola, Patori and also Chandrokhani etc. ==Overview== The art of Bandhani is a highly skilled process. The technique involves dyeing a fabric which is tied tightly with a thread at several points,thus producing a variety of patterns like Leheriya, Mothra, Ekdali and Shikari depending on the manner in which the cloth is tied. The main colours used in Bandhani are yellow, red,blue, green and black. Bandhani work, after the processing is over, results into a variety of symbols including, dots, squares, waves and strips. Bandhani pieces can be dyed by natural and artificial colours. The main colours used in Bandhani are natural. In fact all colours in bandhani are dark, no light colour is used, and the background is mostly in black / red cloth. The Bandhani work has been exclusively carried out by the Khatri community of Kutchh, Khatri community of Jetpur, and Wadhwan. A meter length of cloth can have thousands of tiny knots known as "Bheendi" in the local language ("Gujarati"). Four bheendis are known as a "Kadi". These knots form a design once opened after dyeing in bright colors. Traditionally, the final products can be classified into "khombhi", "Ghar Chola", "Patori", "Chandrakhani" "Shikari" "Chowkidaar" "Ambadaal" etc. Bhuj and Mandvi of Kutch District of Gujarat State in India are well known for the finest quality of bandhani. Jetpur Of Saurashtra region of Gujarat state in India are also known for the Bandhani work but the taste of bandhani is different from other district. Bandhani work is also done in Rajasthan state but having different types of colours and designs than the Kutch and Saurashtra of Gujarat. In Bandhani, different colors convey different meanings.
