It is an old weaving technique from Banaras known for creating colour block patterns. As per chemical terms, Rangkat is also known as Rongalite, sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate (sodium dithionite), which is a vat-reducing/ bleaching agent and a technical grade product. Rangkat is also used for making jalebi, which is a crispy form filled with syrup that helps it not get soggy.
