The need for a fabric similar to silk, which has lustre, strength, smoothness and soft feel, plus its elasticity and desirable quality to acquire most colours and shades is provided by mercerized cotton, a more affordable and appealing substitute. Cotton has the best absorption capacity among fabrics and is a ‘breathing’ fabric which allows free air movement. This allows the body to cool and keeps it comfortable in hot and sultry weather conditions.

Mercerization is a treatment for cellulosic materials like cotton fabric and thread that gives the fabric or yarns a lustrous appearance, strengthens them and yet maintains the above mentioned quality of pure cotton.

handloom weaving

The Ikkat style of weaving is employed in the hand-woven Sambalpuri saree using geometrical patterns. Ikkat is a technique which involves applying bindings, which resist dye penetration to the threads in pre-determined patterns, and then dyeing the threads. These dyed threads are then woven to produce the desired pattern.

Within the ikkat style are variants of single-ikkat and double-ikkat. Alternately the tie-die method of weaving and then dyeing, known as ‘bandhakala’ is also used. Here the threads are first woven and the resist bindings then applied to the fabric before dyeing it.

The New-Look Sambalpuri Cotton Saree

The Sambalpuri saree is a major tribute to the traditional handlooms of Orissa. Unique in the making and exquisite in its designs, the Sambalpuri saree reflects an ancient handicraft called BandhaKala.

Sambalpuri sarees are India’s heritage and a contribution from the State of Orissa. These sarees are famous for the ikkat style of weaving that once used geometrical patterns and themes of flora and fauna, but today include landscapes, nature, and sometimes religious subjects as themes are also hand painted on these handloom fabrics.

Shanka, chakra, or floral pattern motifs may be seen on the base fabric, with designer colours and patterns chosen to provide the traditionally woven ‘Bhulia Kapta’ saree, the modern look. 

Ikkat is a technique which involves applying bindings, which resist dye penetration to the threads in pre-determined patterns, and then dyeing the threads. These dyed threads are then woven to produce the desired pattern. Within the ikkat style are variants of single-ikkat and double-ikkat.

Alternately the tie-die method of weaving and then dyeing, known as ‘bandha kala’ is also used. Here the threads are first woven and the resist bindings then applied to the fabric before dyeing it.

There are varieties to the Sambalpuri with names given based on the place of their Sambalpuri weaves. Bararh, Sonepur, Sambalpur, Bolangir (district), Boudh (district) are locations that weave the traditional Sambalpuris. Sonepuri, Pasapali, Bomkai, Bapta are the variety names for the different types of Sambalpuris.

The Sambalpuri Bomkai especially is a brilliant variant that appeals on account of its splendid depictions of nature, flora and fauna on its fabrics. It is very much preferred for grand and exclusive occasions such as religious functions, festivals and weddings.

Themes such as Krishna Raas Lila (Lord Krishna and his dance with the Gopis), Ayodhya Vijay (Ram’s conquest of Ayodhya after felling the Demon King Raavan, chosen as subjects and finely detailed using organic dyes on these sarees have been so exquisite that they are a class apart.

Sambalpuri cotton sarees find preference for daily-wear as well as for casual occasions and generally housewives and college-goers choose to wear them. 

Late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi used to wear the Sambalpuris in the 80s and brought it to the nation’s gaze.

A fabric that had seen bad days the traditional ‘Bandhakala’, has recovered its lost glory and is shining once more, thanks to the painstaking toil and devoted efforts of Sri Radheshyam Meher, known for his invention of the handloom that first wove textiles of ninety inches width, and a string of like-minded souls who followed.

   

Every year there are textile exhibitions in the state held in his honour.

Unnatisilks has its online website and offline Stores, devoted to Indian ethnic Sarees and Salwar Kameez materials that include the famous Sambalpuri Sarees in Silk and Cotton. Displaying 300 plus traditional varieties at reasonable prices and providing its customers dispatch within 24 hours, speedy and safe delivery through reputed couriers, COD and free delivery for retail customers, attractive terms for bulk customers and international buyers, the Unnati shopping experience is indeed a delightful one.
