Jodhpur, the second largest city of Rajasthan, known for its rich culture, is a famous tourist attraction for many palaces, temples and forts. In this bright and colourful city of Rajasthan, apart from the old, huge ancient forts, which hold a history of hundreds of years, there are narrow lanes of ‘Khanda-Falsa’, that hold the secret of Bandhej, an old and famous process of tying and dying the cloth.

It is amusing to see the entire process, which has a whole sequence of various steps, including tying and dying. Be it marking, making colours, bleaching, everything is done with immense concentration and entirely by hand.
