Bandhini, which is a technique of tying-and-dyeing is practiced in some form or the other in most of the parts of the country. Here is a small guide to knowing what all the patterns and motifs for the dotted Bandhini practiced in Rajasthan are called as:
1. Bandhini Dots
a. Bindi: These are very small spots without a dark center.
b. Kori- The tear drop shaped or cowrie shell shaped motifs are called Kori.
c. Chundadi- Round Spots are called Chundadi
d. Ghatadi- Square spots are called Ghatadi
2. Bandhini Patterns
a. Single Dot Patterns are called Ekdali
b. Small dots with a dark center are called Boond
c. Circles and squared placed in the group of three are called Trikunti
d. A cluster of four dots is called Chauboondi.
Shikari is a pattern in Ghatchola where an animal motif predominates.
