February 8, 2024, Narayanganj, Dhaka, Bangladesh: Hundreds of pieces of dyed cloth are spread out across a field at Batik Village in Narayanganj, Bangladesh for drying - a process that usually takes 4 hours. The dyed fabrics, used in garment factories making T-shirts and women's dresses which sell for less than 3 £, are arranged on patches of grass to dry out completely. Once they are dried, they are made into clothes and sold worldwide. Beautifully embellished colorful cloths are created using the Indonesian technique called ''Batik''. Parts of the design are blocked out by applying hot wax over them, then a dye is applied on top and the parts covered in wax resist the dye and remain the original color. Then, final part - the drying process - after which the cloths are made into t-shirts and vests at the garment factory. (Credit Image: © Joy Saha/ZUMA Press Wire) EDITORIAL USAGE ONLY!
