Leheriya is a traditional form of tie-dye that originated in Rajasthan, India. The word "Leheriya" means "waves" in Hindi, aptly describing the wave-like patterns created through this unique dyeing process. This craft has been an integral part of Rajasthani culture for centuries, often associated with festivals, celebrations, and traditional attire. Historically, Leheriya was worn by royalty and was a symbol of vibrant, festive spirit.
The process of creating Leheriya involves tightly rolling and tying the fabric diagonally, which is then dyed to create diagonal stripes that resemble waves. The beauty of this technique lies in its simplicity yet intricate patterns, which are achieved using natural dyes. After dyeing, the fabric is unrolled to reveal the stunning, vibrant patterns. Traditional colors used in Leheriya are bright and bold, ranging from reds, yellows, and blues to greens and purples, symbolizing joy, prosperity, and the rich culture of Rajasthan.
At iTokri, we bring you a collection of authentic Leheriya stoles, handcrafted by skilled artisans who have mastered this technique over generations. Each piece reflects the vibrancy, culture, and artistry of Rajasthan, providing a perfect blend of traditional and modern styles.
Stoles are a versatile accessory, adding elegance and style to any outfit. In Indian culture, stoles carry both cultural and symbolic significance. They have been used for centuries as part of traditional attire, often seen during festivals, weddings, and religious ceremonies.
