Bandhani Drying
The drying is done on the terrace. Drying takes some time depending upon the weather conditions. In monsoon it takes around 1.5-2 days to dry while in summer it takes only 4-5 hours. In winter it takes around 6-7 hours for drying. After Drying if there is more bandhej required, then it goes for bandhej through wholesaler or through the colour person depending upon the deal. If there is no more requirement of any Bandhej then it directly goes to wholesaler and wholesaler sends it to retailer. In between this sometime de-knoting of bandhej happens depending upon design. Small amount of de-knoting happens at retailer’s end. Wholesaler never does anything. Last process of the bandhni is De-knoting and Packing.
