Off-White Black Red Handloom Temple Border Khandua Silk Saree

A Temple Border Khandua Silk Saree is a type of handwoven silk saree from the state of Odisha in India. The saree is known for its intricate design and is made using a single ikat technique, where one out of the warp and weft is tied and dyed prior to weaving. This results in curvilinear ikat patterns that make the saree stand out.

The Temple Border Khandua Silk Saree is so named because it has a border design that is reminiscent of the temples in Odisha. The border is usually made up of multiple small designs arranged in a sequence that resembles the structure of a temple. The saree is also characterized by its bright and bold colors, which are a hallmark of Odisha’s handloom sarees.

The Khandua Silk Saree has a rich history dating back to the 12th century AD and is closely associated with Lord Jagannath Temple rituals in Puri, Odisha. The saree is made by skilled artisans in the Nuapatna cluster in Odisha and is an excellent example of sustainable and ethical fashion. The saree is a popular choice among women who appreciate traditional handwoven sarees and want to support local artisans.
