Question

The following are examples of resist dyed ikat textiles: A. Telia Rumal
B. Bandhani
C. Patola
D. Saktapar
E. Mothra
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. \( \text{B and D Only} \)
• B. \( \text{A and C Only} \)
• C. \( \text{A, C and D Only} \)
• D. \( \text{D and E Only} \)

Hint:

Ikat = Yarn resist (Pattern created on the loom). Bandhani = Fabric resist (Pattern created after weaving).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Resist dyeing involves protecting certain areas of the material from dye. Ikat is a specific type of resist dyeing where the yarns are tied and dyed *before* weaving.

Step 1: Identify the Ikat-based textiles.

• Telia Rumal (A): A double-ikat tradition from Andhra Pradesh/Telangana.
• Patola (C): The famous double-ikat silk sari from Patan, Gujarat.
• Saktapar (D): A traditional ikat (specifically double-ikat) checkerboard pattern from Odisha.

Step 2: Distinguish from fabric-based resist dyeing.

• Bandhani (B) and Mothra (E) are types of Tie-Dye, where the resist is applied to the finished fabric, not the yarns. Therefore, they are not Ikat.
