Situated in the western lands of India, bordered by Pakistan, stands the glorious state of Gujarat. Also known as the land of the Gurjans, Gujarat is a burst of colours, prints, embroideries and craftsmanship. Acclaimed for its Chaniya Cholis, that’s not all Gujarat has to offer! From a wide range of embroideries to different handloom weaving techniques, entire communities practice block printing to intricate works of tie and dye, with all of this finding its roots in the state. The rich range of textiles owes to the people of different communities, castes, tribes and regions of the state, who kept the age-old traditions alive.

Gujarati Traditional Dress of Women

Before knowing why laundry basket is necessary to have, what exactly a laundry basket is? “A laundry basket is a container which is especially designed to store your dirty clothes or clean clothes before and after washing so that you easily sort your clothes that saves time.”

Now, here is why a laundry basket is necessary in your home. A good clothes laundry basket:

  • Keeps dirty clothes in one hygienic place
  • Prevents clothes from piling up on chairs or beds
  • Helps segregate whites, colours, and delicates
  • Makes carrying clothes to the washing area easy
  • Maintains cleanliness and organisation at home

When you have a laundry basket for clothes, there will be no scattering of clothes, fabric damage, and will also prevent bad odor from clothes. 

Gujarat Traditional Dress Of Men

The traditional dress for men in Gujarat is a Dhoti and Kurta, which is always accessorized with a Phento, a sort of turban. For occasions like festivals, these people are found wearing a Kediyu and Chorno that is designed with elaborate hand embroidering. The tribals also wear these.

Textiles Of Gujarat

The textiles, broadly classified into three categories, are processed through printing and dyeing, embroidery, and handloom weaving.

Some famous examples of commercial embroidery are Zardosi, Aari work, and Soof embroidery. But that’s not all! All the tribes of Gujarat have their respective embroideries as well, and the women of all these castes have done them in their spare time. These are Rabari work, Heer Bharat work, Abhla work, Sindhi Tarupa work, and Moti work or bead work.

The Ajrakhpur of Gujarat is itself the homeland of the block printing method called “Ajrak”, which obtains the effect by resist dyeing. Batik and “Sandagiri” are other forms of printing carried out by craftsmen there.
