Tie-N-Dye
is a method, wherein the base fabric is first tied at several points by threads
and then the threads are dyed. The manner in which the tying is done decides
the resulting pattern, which could generally be white or light coloured dots, stripes, waves
or squares on dark coloured fabrics. Bandhani,
Bandhni or Bandhej is a highly-skilled process involving Tie-Dye method that
achieves brilliant artistic designs on fabrics.
It is a highly skilled art traditionally
practised in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Works
like, tying of thousands of miniscule knots on the fabric, which spread and
form exquisite designs on opening after the dyeing process, speak volumes of
the skill involved. Designs and colours differ, with significance attached to
certain colours. Generally dark shades of bright colours like red, yellow,
green are preferred so that the patterns could be highlighted.

The fabric
is tied tightly at various points and then the dyeing takes place. This causes
non-penetration of dye in the tied places. Names given are Lehriya, Mothda,
Ekdali and Mashru for the manner of tying and subsequent emerging of patterns
evolves. The tie and dye technique can be classified as single ikat - where
either the warp or the weft is tied and dyed, double ikat - where both the warp
and weft are individually tied and dyed. Single ikat is mostly used with
double-ikat only at two or three places in India. The states of Gujarat and
Rajasthan are most noted for the wide application of this traditional art. Dyes
used for the process are vat dyes, direct dyes, napthol dyes and procion dyes,
each having their merits and drawbacks for a range of fabrics. Bandhani tie and dye method is the most widely known whose centres are Mandvi, Jamnagar and Mundra in Gujarat
and Jodhpur, Jaipur and Udaipur in Rajasthan. Dots, stripes, animals, birds in
square format are some of the more popular designs that emerge through this
process.
Colours
preferred are bright ones like red, yellow, pink, green. Organic and vegetable
dyes are slowly being taken over by chemical dyes, cheaper and easily
available. Patterns chosen for the decoration of these wolike flowers, trees, animals, geometric designs, etc.
Keeping the market in mind, these traditional methods have incorporated modern
tastes in designs, patterns and colour combinations.In other
words, the dye is prevented from penetrating portions that are not meant to be
coloured, thereby acquiring the design or pattern through the non-coloured
portions. This pattern becomes visible when the weaving of the carefully
arranged threads on warp and weft takes place. An age old tradition, it has
survived till this day as one of the oldest, finest and most widely used
techniques the world over. India is one of the leading countries in the use of
the tie and dye method for fabrics.
