The aal bark — sourced from the \u003cem\u003eMorinda citrifolia\u003c\/em\u003e tree — is boiled until it releases its characteristic red-gold pigment. Handspun cotton and Tussar silk fibres are soaked in this dye bath, absorbing colour through repeated immersions. No synthetic chemicals intervene at any stage; the colour is fixed naturally through alum-based mordants derived from local mineral sources. This unhurried process gives authentic Kotpad handloom its warm, earth-rooted palette that no artificial dye can replicate. Each saree takes 25 to 30 days to complete on a pit loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Amalaki\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tussar Cotton Silk blend gives Amalaki a texture that is gently nubby against the hand yet settles into a composed drape on the body. It holds its form through a day of wear without stiffness. The weight is moderate — present enough to anchor the pallu, light enough to move without effort. As a Kotpad saree for ethnic wear, its golden ground and red tribal motifs carry the kind of restraint that reads clearly in both formal and ceremonial settings. As a Kotpad saree for festivals, the kumbha border and macha motifs align with Odishan visual tradition in a way that feels grounded rather than decorative. As a natural dyed saree for gifting, Amalaki carries the weight of verified craft provenance — each motif woven, not printed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePasapali presents Amalaki as part of an ongoing documentation of original Kotpad saree online, rooted in the living practice of Mirgan weavers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmalaki\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSaree Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKotpad Natural Dye Saree\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTradition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKotpad Handloom (GI Certified)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeave\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandloom — Pit Loom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTechnique\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrganic Vegetable Dye Weaving; Extra-Weft; Multi-Shuttle Interlocking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTussar Cotton Silk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSaree Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.40 metres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSaree Breadth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlouse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes (included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrimary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGolden\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSecondary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntricate tribal motifs — macha (fish) and pharsa (axe)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBorder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKumbha — raised solid temple border worked via extra-weft technique and multi-shuttle interlocking method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePallu\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntricate tribal motifs — macha (fish) and pharsa (axe) via extra-weft technique\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKey Motifs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacha (fish), Pharsa (axe), Kumbha (temple)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWoven By\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMirgan Tribal Weavers, Odisha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeave Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25–30 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGI Tag\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKotpad Textile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCertification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGovernment of India Handloom Mark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEthnic wear, festivals, gifting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n  \u003chr\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eExplore More Handloom Sarees\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Amalaki is part of Pasapali's collection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/collections\/all\"\u003eKotpad Handloom sarees\u003c\/a\u003e from Odisha.\n    Read the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/pages\/about-us\"\u003estory behind the brand\u003c\/a\u003e and the weavers who make them.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pasapali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49399144743086,"sku":"PS-TC-GOL-RED-165","price":28600.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5855\/6590\/files\/amalaki-amalaki-golden-kotpad-saree-natural-dye-tussar-cot-7.jpg?v=1789961155","url":"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/products\/amalaki-golden-kotpad-saree-natural-dye-tussar-cotton-silk","provider":"Pasapali","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
