Bandhej is also known as bandhani. This is a type of tie and dye textile which is designed and created by plucking the cloth into many bindings into a set design. This type of kurti ia worn by women in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Gujarat. The word bandhani is derived from a Sanskrit word ‘banda' which means 'to tie’.

Even urban ladies try to have bandhej kurtis as something new to their wardrobe.
