The traditional Sambalpuri
Saree in its cotton and silk versions is a captivating fabric from the tribal
belt of Odisha. Sambalpur in the state of Odisha, India, is famous for its
Sambalpuri variety of pure cotton sarees and pure silk sarees, using
Ikkat patterns or the tie-dye method in their making. Cotton and mercerized
cotton are used in making sambalpuri cotton saris.

The need for a fabric similar to silk, which has lustre,
strength, smoothness and soft feel, plus its elasticity and desirable quality
to acquire most colours and shades is provided by mercerized cotton, a more
affordable and appealing substitute. Cotton has the best absorption capacity
among fabrics and is a ‘breathing’ fabric which allows free air movement. This
allows the body to cool and keeps it comfortable in hot and sultry weather
conditions.

Mercerization is a treatment for cellulosic materials like
cotton fabric and thread that gives the fabric or yarns a lustrous appearance,
strengthens them and yet maintains the above mentioned quality of pure cotton.
weaving |
The Ikkat style of weaving is employed in the hand-woven
Sambalpuri saree using geometrical patterns. Ikkat is a technique which
involves applying bindings, which resist dye penetration to the threads in
pre-determined patterns, and then dyeing the threads. These dyed threads are
then woven to produce the desired pattern.

Within the ikkat style are variants
of single-ikkat and double-ikkat. Alternately the tie-die method of weaving and
then dyeing, known as ‘bandhakala’ is also used. Here the threads are first
woven and the resist bindings then applied to the fabric before dyeing it. This
traditional art uses vegetable dyes to a large extent, with a leaning toward
artificial colours in present day creations. Black, yellow, orange, maroon, are
the preferred hues. Sambalpuri pure cotton sarees find preference for daily-wear as well
as for casual occasions and generally housewives and college-goers choose to
wear them.

appeal to bewitching heights. Unnati experiments with traditional styles in a

appealing look for depictions of nature, animals and birds. It is preferred for
traditional functions and festive occasions.
There are some sarees that employ the ikat style of tie-dye, where the threads are dyed with contrasting colours before they are woven with a special ‘extra weft’ technique. Bright coloured panels with extra motifs on a highly contrasting background make this tribal art fabric uniquely stand out.
Motif patterns commonly adorning the fabric are bitter gourd, the atasi flower, the kanti-phul or small flower, peacocks and birds, Konark temple, conches. In one saree the initial or large motif known as Buttah, such a bird sitting on a tree, is woven on the body. This accentuates the fabric look. The smaller motifs decorate the borders and pallu, and have pomegranate seeds, Saara seeds and temple spires as popular subjects.
