| Abstract: | Indian Bandhani, a traditional form of tie and
dye, began about 5000 yrs ago. Also known as Bandhni and Bandhej,
it is the oldest tie and dye tradition still in practice. The craft is still
thriving with Gujarat and Rajasthan as chief production centers. This paper is
an outcome of a diagnostic study of the Bandhej
craft in Sikar city of Rajasthan. The objective of the study was to portray the
present scenario of Bandhej craft and
to record the changes that have occurred with the spinning wheel of time in the
techniques, patterns of designs and the motifs. |
