A deceptively simple method that yields a multitude of intricate patterns - Bandhani is truly a wondrous art form. The beautiful designs are created by a tie and dye method, where the cloth is tightly wound with threads at strategic places and then dyed. The threads are removed to uncover the design beneath. The earliest form of this method can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization, as early as 4000 B.C. The tradition of Bandhani has since then flourished in the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan, making it a go-to style for weddings, religious festivals, ethnic decor, and everyday wear. Inspired by the charm of Bandhani prints and garments, we have collaborated with design labels that champion traditional Indian arts to bring to you an elegant and exceptional collection of designer Bandhani Lehengas.

Much of the tying work is done by women who can work from home, thus, creating income and furthering their empowerment.

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 complexity of the design, it can take several hours to days to create the patterns on a bandhani garment. The immense care and attention to detail needed in bandhani imbibes a lot of meaning for the ‘karigar’ or maker and the wearer. The express meaning through the patterns and colours used for each garment. Traditionally, only two colors are used at a time; the most popular ones being red and yellow as they are considered auspicious. Red bandhanis 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.

Traditional Bandhani Lehengas have a wide repository of motifs and patterns ranging from designs inspired from nature to geometric and kaleidoscopic designs. All of the motifs use ekdali or one single dot 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. Expertly balancing tradition and modernity, our designers have used these motifs to create novel and fresh designs. Their creativity is on full display in our range of designer Bandhani Chaniya Cholis, Bandhani Print Lehengas, and Bandhani Skirts. Accessorize your favourite Bandhani Lehenga with designer jewellery and designer bags from the specially curated collections of Inayat, Richa Gupta, Bblingg, and more at Pernia’s.
