What is a Bandhani lehenga? Why is it trending in wedding wholesale?

A Bandhani lehenga applies the traditional tie-dye technique to the lehenga choli — creating circular dot patterns in vibrant colours on the lehenga skirt, choli blouse, and often the dupatta as well. It evokes traditional Rajasthani and Gujarati heritage craft in a festive silhouette.

Why it is trending for weddings:

• Combines traditional craft authenticity with modern bridal aesthetics — the "heritage bride" look
• Particularly popular in Rajasthani and Gujarati wedding markets
• Pastel Bandhani lehengas — blush pink, powder blue, mint green — are replacing heavy red in many markets for mehendi and sangeet outfits
• Mass-market and affordable Bandhani lehengas make it accessible at multiple price points

Types:

• Real tie-dye Bandhani lehenga (hand-crafted, premium) — ₹2,000–₹8,000+
• Digital print Bandhani-style lehenga (Surat catalog product) — ₹500–₹1,500
