The Saafa, or Turban, is an integral part of the Rajasthani man's traditional attire.
Leheriya (or leheriya) is a traditional style of tie dye practiced in Rajasthan, India that results in bright coloured cloth with distinctive patterns. The technique gets its name from the Rajasthani word for wave because the dyeing technique is often used to produce complex wave patterns.
The famous leheriya or the zigzag pattern of irregular colour stripes is a visual invocation of the flow of water .
Exclusive Muslin turban cloth tie-dyed in multiple colours in leheriya (wave) style. Highly skilled masterpiece, as after every half a meter the design and colours are changing.
Spectacular combination of art and craftsmanship. From Shekhawati District Rajasthan, India. c.1900.
