Bandhanīya (बन्धनीय) refers to “ornaments that are to be tied up” and represents a classification of ornaments (ābharaṇa), according to Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 23. Ābharaṇa represents one of the four types of alaṃkāra, or “decorations”, which in turn is a category of nepathya, or “costumes and make-up”, the perfection of which forms the main concern of the Āhāryābhinaya, or “extraneous representation”, a critical component for a successful dramatic play.

According to the Nāṭyaśāstra, “ornaments that are to be tied-up (bandhanīya) are to be represented by the girdles (śroṇīsūtra) and the arm-band (aṅgada) ”.
