The Rich History of Bandhani – From Ancient Times to Modern Fashion

The Timeless Art of Bandhani

Bandhani, also known as Bandhej, is one of the oldest tie-dye traditions of India. The word "Bandhani" comes from the Sanskrit word "Bandh", which means "to tie". This ancient craft dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization (around 4000 B.C.) and is still proudly practiced in Gujarat and Rajasthan.

At Bandhani Palace, we celebrate this heritage by bringing you authentic Bandhani sarees crafted by skilled artisans from Kutch, Bhuj, and Jaipur.

A Brief Journey Through Time

•  Evidence of Bandhani can be seen in the Ajanta Caves paintings (6th century).
• It was believed that wearing a Bandhani saree brings good luck and prosperity to the bride. 
• Traditionally made on cotton, silk, and georgette using natural dyes.
