In the bandha technique of western Odisha, the weaver ties and resist-dyes sections of the yarn itself, then aligns warp and weft on the loom so the pattern emerges as the cloth is made. The soft feathering at the edge of each shape - the signature of true ikat - is the record of that alignment, made by hand, thread by thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe pallu carries the Konark chakra, the stone wheel of Odisha's 13th-century sun temple, worked in madder red with fine white outlining. Around it sit kumbha temple triangles and diamond bandha motifs, framed by rows of fine white stripes. The body is a deep turmeric yellow, bordered in charcoal and rust with the streaked ikat gradation that only tied yarn can produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHandwoven on pit looms in Bargarh, Odisha. Slight irregularities in motif placement and colour depth are inherent to the process and are the mark of a handmade textile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Sambalpuri bandha (double ikat), handwoven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric: Handspun cotton \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Turmeric yellow body, charcoal and madder red border and pallu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotif: Konark chakra, kumbha temple border, diamond bandha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaree length: 5.11m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlouse piece: Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Bargarh, Odisha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWash care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst wash: dry clean only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubsequent washes: hand wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent.
