Weaving Technique

Odisha Ikat is a kind of Ikat, a resist dyeing technique, originating from Indian state of Odisha. Also known as 'Bandha of Odisha'. Bandha can be defined as "A length of systematically arranged yarn, dyed according to a preconceived design in such a manner so as to enable a weaver to portray the design when the yarn is converted to a fabric through the process of weaving". A notable feature in this Ikat is that it depicts the same colourful design motif on both its front and back. No additional yarn is required to produce this effect.

Art Origin

Deep in Western Odisha, weavers practice Bandhakala (or Bandha)—a world-renowned textile art where geometry meets master craftsmanship. Unlike printed fabrics, Sambalpuri textiles require the artisan to visualize the final pattern entirely in reverse. The design is engineered, mapped, and dyed onto raw threads before they are ever loaded onto the loom. Phoda Kumbha is the crown jewel of Sambalpuri border artistry. The word Phoda translates to "pierced" or "punched," which perfectly captures the razor-sharp, needle-defined edges of the iconic temple spires (Kumbha) lining the fabric .
