Answer 1

Bandhani (Hindi: बांधानी) is a type of tie-dyetextile decorated by plucking the cloth with the fingernails into many tiny bindings that form a figurative design.[1] The term bandhaniis derived from the Sanskrit verbal root bandh("to bind, to tie").[2][3] Today most Bandhini making centers are situated in Gujarat,[4]Rajasthan,[1] Sindh, Punjab region[5] and inTamil Nadu where it's known as Sungudi.[6][7]Earliest evidence of Bandhani dates back toIndus Valley Civilization where dyeing was done as early as 4000 B.C. The earliest example of the most pervasive type ofBandhani dots can be seen in the 6th century paintings depicting the life of Buddha found on the wall of Cave 1 at Ajanta.[8] Bandhani is also known as Bandhej, Bandhni, Piliya, and Chungidi in Tamil and regional dialects. Other tying techniques include Mothra, Ekdali and Shikari depending on the manner in which the cloth is tied.
