Cotton kotpad refers to a type of handloom cotton fabric that is traditionally made in the Kotpad region of Odisha, India. The fabric is made using natural dyes and features unique geometric patterns and designs that are created using a resist-dyeing technique.

The cotton used to make Kotpad fabric is locally grown and handspun, giving it a unique texture and feel. The fabric is then handwoven on a traditional handloom, often by skilled artisans who have been practicing the craft for generations.

Kotpad fabric is known for its durability and is often used to make clothing and home decor items such as sarees, shawls, bedspreads, and cushion covers. It is also prized for its eco-friendliness, as it is made using natural materials and traditional techniques that are sustainable and environmentally responsible.

In recent years, the Kotpad handloom industry has gained recognition both nationally and internationally for its unique textiles and has become an important source of income for many weavers in the region. As a result, efforts have been made to promote and preserve the traditional Kotpad weaving techniques and to ensure the continued sustainability of the industry.
