Bandhani Chaab

A Bandhani pattern chaab is a traditional decorative tray covered in Bandhani tie-dye fabric, a textile art form that involves tying and dyeing fabric to create intricate dotted patterns. The word Bandhani comes from the Sanskrit term “bandh,” meaning to tie. These chaabs are commonly used in weddings, engagements, and religious ceremonies to present gifts, sweets, fruits, coconuts, and other auspicious items. The vibrant colours, especially red, symbolise prosperity, celebration, and good fortune, while the detailed embroidery, mirror work, and lace edging enhance its rich and festive appearance.
