Leheria
or Leheriya is a traditional Tie and Dye art practised in Rajasthan, India. It
is part of the larger traditional art known as Bandhani and hence you can also
find Leheria Bandhej being used. Leheria comes from the word Leher meaning
wave, since the tie and dye process applied to white fabrics, results in
brightly coloured complex wave or Leher designs. Leheria work is done on silk
or cotton fabric and on long and broad canvases like turbans and sarees.
The Leheria process
The
process involves rolling the fabric and tying resists at various spots on the
cloth rolled diagonally from one corner to the opposite selvage. Selvage is the
self finished edges in a fabric as a result of looping back the thread from the
weft (perpendicular thread to the waft threads) at the end of each row length
of the fabric that prevents the fabric from unravelling or fraying. This rolled
fabric is then dyed according to the usual tie and dye process in bright
colours. When the fabric is unfolded after dyeing, it leaves a lot of stripes
or other shapes at intervals across the fabric in a design. Several tie and dye
processes are undergone if required, to create a myriad of colourful stripes
across the fabric length. Indigo is used in the last few stages of the process.
The exotic appeal of the Laheria
The
appeal lies in the way the folding and tying of resists is manipulated before
dyeing to create colourful striking outcomes of extraordinary designs.
Mothara is a special ‘lentil design’, popular
and achieved by the re-rolling of the unfolded first stage in the opposite
direction and the resist tied at the diagonal end and repeating the dye
process. The resulting checkered design has un-dyed areas at regular intervals
which are the size of a lentil. Leheria turbans are very popular in Rajasthan
and some other parts of India. Leheria Sarees and salwar kameez have wooed the
fashion world with their unique designer prints.
