Seen here is a natural Indigo-dyed handwoven Shikargarh ghaghra teamed with an indigo self woven choli.
What is so special about the Indigo dye is that it is made through a long and delicate a process of fermentation using indigo leaves– wheat bran, hardwood ash, lime, and sake. First step in the process "reduces" the indigo, changing it from blue to yellow. When the yarn is worked in the solution, and brought out to the air, it is a bright green. Slowly the air changes it to the beautiful deep and rich blue of Indigo.
