About

A richly patterned handloom saree combining ikat and supplementary-thread embroidery techniques, traditionally woven in the Bomkai village of Ganjam district with bold temple-border motifs.

Did you know? Bomkai weavers combine two distinct techniques — tie-dyed ikat and hand-embroidered thread work — in a single saree, a fusion that makes each piece take noticeably longer to finish than a single-technique weave.
