Bandhej is an ancient Indian tie-and-dye textile art known for its intricate dotted patterns, primarily practiced in Rajasthan and Gujarat. With roots possibly going back thousands of years, it remains an important part of India’s textile heritage and cultural traditions. The technique involves tying small portions of cloth with thread and then dyeing it so that the tied parts resist the dye and form distinctive dotted patterns.
