About Khandua silk
Khandua is an ikat silk from Nuapatna and Maniabandha in Cuttack district, Odisha, and it is GI-tagged. It was traditionally woven for Lord Jagannath of Puri. Its motifs include elephants, lions, kumbha (temple), flowers and lines from the Gita Govinda.
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.
