1-Explore history and cultural significance-Originating in 17th-century Rajasthan, Leheriya is a traditional resist tie-and-dye technique known for its vibrant, wave-like diagonal stripes. The name is derived from the Rajasthani word lehar (wave), as artisans diagonally roll and tie fabric to mimic flowing monsoon rains. Historically, this craft was developed in Marwar (Jodhpur) and flourished under the patronage of the Rajput rulers and royal courts. Initially used on turbans and stoles, Leheriya was considered a symbol of heritage. In its earliest forms, it was a practical yet beautiful way to break the monotony of the arid desert landscape, quickly becoming a visual indicator of community and status.
