Plural of bandana; multiple colorful triangular head cloths or scarves.
From bandana (Hindi bandhna 'to tie,' from Sanskrit), referring to a dyeing technique. The cloth became popular in Europe through trade with India in the 17th century.
Indian artisans invented the tie-dye technique that created bandanas — when European traders brought them back, they became so fashionable that nobility paid enormous prices for authentic Indian-made ones!
