Bandhani Sarees

Shop Bandhani sarees online at Greenways — India's most vibrant tie-dye tradition from Rajasthan and Gujarat, where skilled artisans create intricate patterns by tying thousands of tiny knots in silk or cotton fabric before dyeing. The result is a magical explosion of colour and texture that is uniquely Bandhani (also known as Bandhej, Bandhni, or Tie-and-Dye).

The process is entirely handmade: artisans (mainly women) pinch the fabric into tiny points and bind each one tightly with thread, then the fabric is dipped in dye. When the threads are removed, the tied portions reveal the undyed base colour, creating the characteristic dotted and geometric Bandhani pattern. Complex designs can involve up to 5,000+ individual knots per saree.
