With colors like red, yellow, green, blue, orange, black and pink amply employed during the tie and dye process of the bandhni, the finished products always don a  very bright look. The processing work is done in such a way that after its completion, the bandhani cloth bears symbols like dots, squares, waves and strips. Maximum dye used in bandhani is natural. At the same time, use of light hues is avoided. It is common for Bandhni to have a base of black or red color.

While the tie and dye process is on during the bandhani printing, the cloth is covered with many tiny knots. The placement of these knots is crucial and pre-decided by the printer as it is these knots that form the bandhni design after opening. In India, you will find bandhni print on ladies’ duppattas normally as well as bed sheets, saris and so on.  

Though it’s a tradition in India for Bandhani print dresses to be worn by only ladies, nowadays one will find these designs on the attires of the men folk also. The city of Jamnagar in the state of Gujarat is very popular for its bandhani work. Even in present times, the same techniques of making bandhni fabrics are used by the artists in Jamnagar. Another state in India where Bandhni is quite popular is Rajasthan.
