Brightly colored stripes of various widths laid out
horizontally (from side to side on the fabrics). The color effects
usually range from lively to startling to bizarre. Often made with
black warps and crosswise ribs (plain
or twill weave). Mostly produced
in India. The name is derived from the Bayadere dancing girl of India,
dedicated to a dancing life from birth.
