Tie and dye is a method of creating elaborate patterns and stripes on fabrics via a dip dyeing process. The fabric is tied in intricate patterns with the help of beads or grains, preventing colour from seeping into the tied areas during the dyeing process when the fabric is dunk in vats of colour. For over a century, Jodhpur has been the traditional yarn-dyeing centre in the country, each dyed sari or dupatta unfurling unlimited and surprising possibilities.
