What is Bandhani? The Bhuj Tie-Dye Craft Explained

1 August 2026 · Eliindra

Bandhani is a Gujarati tie-dye tradition from Kutch and Bhuj, where artisans tie tiny knots in cotton or silk before dipping the fabric in dye. No two pieces are identical — each knot creates a resist point that blooms into a dot when untied.

At Eliindra, our bandhani kurtis are hand-tied in Bhuj, not machine-printed. The process takes days: tying, dyeing, drying, untying, and finishing in Delhi.

**How to style bandhani kurtis** - Pair a straight bandhani kurti with white palazzos for office ethnic wear. - For Navratri garba, choose a brighter tone from our Navratri edit.

Every bandhani kurti carries an artisan name on the inside label — because slow work deserves a face.
