“Ambadal” refers to a traditional floral or leaf motif used in Bandhani (tie-dye) textiles.The word is derived from local Gujarati or Rajasthani dialects where “Ambadal” often means a pattern inspired by natural elements like leaves, vines, or small flowers.It is characterized by repeated small floral or leafy shapes created using the Bandhani technique—tiny tied knots resist the dye to form the design.
