Bandhini Sarees — The Ancient Art of Tie-Dye

Bandhini sarees — also known as Bandhej or Bandhani sarees — are one of India's oldest handcrafted textiles, where skilled artisans hand-tie thousands of tiny knots before dyeing to create iconic, one-of-a-kind dotted patterns. Our handwoven Bandhini silk and modal sarees are crafted using traditional natural dyes, perfect for weddings, festivals, and everyday elegance.

Meet the Founder Behind Daaraa Silks

Thirteen years spent testing other people's systems taught me how to find what's broken — but not how to build something of my own. In my family, everyone has always worked for someone else. Every Varamahalakshmi, the street around us unwrapped new sarees; my mother folded the same six, year after year, because every rupee went toward our education instead.

My daughter is the one who named this dream: Daaraa, which read backwards is Raadaa, and means abundance — always flowing. Daaraa Silks is my way of making the silk my mother never let herself buy reachable for every woman who wants it.

"Don't wait for the right occasion — you are the occasion."
— Preethi Srikanth, Founder
