The end of a narrow bylane in Jaipur’s old bazaar opens up into an old haveli, residing a family of leheriya dyers. 91 year old Jumma Ji’s family has been dyeing leheriya for generations now and a traditional multicoloured tie and dye dupatta takes about a week and their family of 14 hands (7 members) to complete.

Leheriya as its name suggests, means waves much similar to its patterns. This tie and dye technique allows the artisan the artistic freedom to express and design, hence making the patterns and choice of colours endless.
