A Survey on Effective Factors in Designing Indian Ikat

Ikat is a kind of technique and a textile that its motifs are created by tying and dying some parts of warp and weft. Producing Ikats in India perhaps is not as prevalent as before, but pattern, color, material, differences, producing method, producing centers and hidden beliefs in these elegant textiles are of the points which always come to mind. The method of this survey is descriptive- analytic, the data collected using library resources and fieldwork research and the tools of gathering information include papers, books, theses, E-books and images.
According to the hypothesis that there is a connection between the kinds of Ikat and the use of decoration and clothing, also their technique and slight similarity and difference due to the place of production and the waver's thoughts, which cause different regions to affect each other, the purpose of this study is to organize and consider different kinds of Indian Ikat precisely to get comprehensive practical results, recognize the textiles and keep the techniques. Thus, it is concluded that although the Indian textiles are similar, they have special methods of producing. For example using braid in Bandhas of Orissa or Gulbadan. These textiles are usually used in producing Sari that people wear in praise ceremonies and they have simple motifs which are achieved by pervaded colors.
