#Saris_A2Z the next letter in our alphabetical journey happens to be 'L'. Together let's look at 'L'eheria saris.
What's a lehariya?
Leheria comes from the word Leher meaning wave, since the tie and dye process applied to white fabrics, results in brightly coloured complex wave or Leher designs. Leheria work is done on silk or cotton fabric. A Leheriya has wavy pattern with distinctive bright colors. The leheriya saris are primarily manufactured in Jaipur and other places in Rajasthan. An additional dyeing using the leheriya technique produces mothara. In the making of mothara, the original resists are removed and the fabric is re-rolled and tied along the opposite diagonal. This results in a checkered pattern with small undyed areas occurring at regular intervals.
