The traditional art of tie-and-dye—is one of Rajasthan's most iconic and enduring textile crafts. This 5,000-year-old technique transforms simple fabrics into vivid masterpieces through intricate tying and dyeing methods passed down across generations. From Leheriya and bold Mothra check patterns to the delicate Bandhej, each design shows the seasonal rhythm of Rajasthan. Whether crafted on cotton or silk, these textiles are a symbol of joy, identity, and celebration.

Each style varies slightly depending on the region—from the vibrant hues of Jaipur to the refined patterns of Jodhpur and Sikar—giving Rajasthan's textile heritage a rich and diverse identity. These fabrics are an integral part of traditional garments such as sarees, turbans, odhnis, and dupattas, especially during weddings, festivals, and religious occasions.
