About Berhampuri silk
Berhampuri patta is a GI-tagged pure silk from Berhampur in Ganjam district, Odisha. It is known for its phoda kumbha (temple) border and pallu. These sarees were traditionally offered to Lord Jagannath.
Care
Dry clean only. Store the saree wrapped in a soft cotton or muslin cloth, away from moisture. Refold it every few months so the zari does not crack along the folds. Do not spray perfume directly on silk or zari. Iron on low heat with a cloth in between.
