Know Your Sarees

Bandhej or Bandhani - Tie Dye of Rajasthan and Gujarat

I have to admit, at first glance I wasn't thrilled with this style.  It didn't make any sense,  but over time, and research, I have come to appreciate and respect it. Love it so much I have one in teal, and plan to add more.

The cloth is folded in on itself, and tiny knots are sewn into the folded layers. The color pallet favors light and bright colors given the monochrome landscapes of the region.






P.S.: I'm sure you have noticed there is one saree picture. Finally, I'm living up to the title of this blog.
