Encapsulation of Leheriya (Rajasthan)
Keywords:
Leheriya, Leheriya TypesAbstract
Leheriya is one of the many traditional crafts for which Rajasthan is most famous, and it is also one of the most popular. This type of tie-and-dye, which has been a traditional skill since its inception, is derived from the Hindi term "Leher," which means "wave." In essence, it draws inspiration from the patterns created by the winds as they sweep through the deserts of Rajasthan. The Indian government has granted Leheriya, a traditional tie-dye style used in Rajasthan, GI (Geographical Indication) status. Only those who are AI-authorized can use the name “LEHERIYA” for their products, as this recognition gives the artisans of this craft legal protection. Leheriya is not original in the market as this craft, a famous tie-dye craft of Rajasthan, sees most of the original artists not being paid well enough for their art, as this is quite expensive in their original products. Leheriya is famous all over the world because of its Leher pattern—it gives signs of rhythm. As we talk about abstracts, these designs are machine printed and the weaving of threads gives the name of Leheriya, but the original products are still away from many Leheriya-interested people and ladies especially. This research is based on the depiction of handmade Leheriya in the market and the need to stop machine-based Leheriya being sold in the name of originals.
