*In Rajasthan, the glowing red and yellow odhani or turban is valued as an affirmation of life in the face of hardship and deprivation of the most basic kind.
In the 19th century, the Marwari, merchants of Rajasthan and dominant business community of India, wore as their distinguishing mark, elaborately ties, brightly colored striped turbans.
These turbans were made by the leheria technique (meaning waves). This process continues to be practiced in the dyeing quarters of the Rajasthani towns of jodhpur, jaipur, Udaipur and Nathadwara.
Leheria is a method of resist dyeing whereby material is rolled up and tied tightly at intervals, then dyed, so that the sections that have been tied remain undyed and the untied portions take the color of the dye bath. less
