Hundreds of colour-dyed sheets of cloth are spread across a field for drying in Narayanganj, Bangladesh, after they have been dyed using the Indonesian batik process. The colorful cloths are arranged on patches of grass to dry out completely as it is cheaper and more sustainable to dry them out in sunlight.Â
A dazzling network of interlocking colors produces a rainbow of colors as colorful fabrics are hung to dry above a flooded field. Iron wires are used between a bamboo framework to create giant washing lines for the final part of the dying process after which the cloths are made into t-shirts and vests at the garment factory.
Rows of brightly coloured fabrics shimmer in reflections as they are hung to dry above a flooded field.
Known as "Lal Shalu" to the locals, the long red cloths are set out to dry under the hot sun, having been dyed with bright red color.
The eco-friendly drying method spans an area equal to 5 football fields and takes up to 6 hours to complete after being placed by workers at sunrise. Once a strip has been properly dried, workers fold it up and replace it with another, newly dyed stretch.
