Bandhani as an art form has been around since 4000 BC, during the Indus Valley Civilization. It has since seen multiple evolutions and reimaginations, especially in the villages of Gujarat and Rajasthan. While new patterns are always emerging, the basic method has persevered through the years - the cloth is hand-picked and tightly wound with threads at strategic places and dyed; the threads are then removed to uncover the design beneath. It is a deceptively simple technique and yet yields a variety of intricate patterns, making it a go-to style for weddings, religious festivals, ethnic decor, and everyday wear.

Bandhani holds great cultural significance as it is one of the few traditional art forms that are still largely done by hand. Depending on the intricacy of the pattern, it can take several hours to days to create a bandhani garment. The makers often express meaning through the patterns and colours they use. They have a vast range of motifs and patterns, ranging from designs inspired from nature to geometric and kaleidoscopic designs. The simplest building block is the ekdali or one single dot which is used to create simple patterns such as Tikunthi or three dots and Satbandi or dots in groups of seven. These are then placed together creatively to make larger patterns such as Jaaldar which is a web like pattern, Beldaar or a vine like pattern, and Leheriya which is a dainty wave-like pattern. These patterns can be embellished further with mirrors, tassels, and silver and golden threads.

Traditionally, only two colors are used at a time; the most popular ones being red and yellow as they are considered auspicious. Red Bandhani Anarkali Dress are often given to brides showing love and luck while yellow bandhanis are given to new mothers for health and prosperity. In the new age bandhanis, the palette has expanded to include various shades of green, pink, purple, and blue.
