A Sambalpuri cloth is a traditional hand woven where in the warp and the weft are tie-dyed before weaving. It is produced in the  Sambalpur and surrounding districts of Odisha. The fabric is mostly used for making traditional Indian female wear “Sarees”. But of late the same is being used for other purposes too (Modern ladies garments and bedsheets).

Sambalpuri fabric is known for it’s incorporation of traditional motifs like shankha (shell), chakra (wheel), phula (flower), all of which have deep symbolism with the native Odia colour red black and white represent true Odia Culture along with  Kaalia(Lord Jagannatha)’s face colour, but the highpoint of this fabric is the traditional craftsmanship of the ‘Bandhakala’, the Tie-dye art reflected in their intricate weaves, also known as Sambalpuri “Ikkat”. In this technique, the threads are first tie-dyed and later woven into a fabric, with the entire process taking many weeks. These saris first became popular outside the state when the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi started wearing them. In the 1980s and 1990s they became popular across India.
