A pink and green handloom cotton Sambalpuri saree from Odisha, with a bright pink body woven with geometric and floral-inspired bandha (ikat) motifs and a contrasting green pallu in traditional Sambalpuri patterns. The cotton is lightweight and breathable, so it stays comfortable through long hours at the office, on festival days and at family celebrations.

About Sambalpuri weaving
Sambalpuri textiles are woven in western Odisha, in Sambalpur, Bargarh and Sonepur (Subarnapur), and the Sambalpuri Bandha saree and fabrics are GI-tagged. Bandha is Odisha's tie-and-dye ikat: the yarns are resist-dyed in sections before weaving, so the pattern appears as the cloth is woven. Classic motifs include shankha (conch), chakra (wheel), phula (flower), rudraksha and pasapalli.
Care
For the first wash, dry clean or hand wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent, as handloom dyes may bleed slightly. Dry in shade. Iron on medium heat, and a light starch will keep the cotton crisp.
