Description
Sambalpuri silk sarees are exquisite handwoven sarees originating from Odisha, India, renowned for their intricate ikat designs and vibrant colors. These sarees are crafted using a unique tie-and-dye technique called “Bandha,” where both warp and weft threads are dyed before weaving, creating unique patterns that appear on both sides of the fabric. They are typically adorned with traditional motifs like conch shells, wheels, and flowers, often symbolizing cultural or religious elements.
