{"product_id":"bhargavi-white-red-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha","title":"Bhargavi Sambalpuri Cotton Saree | Mercerized Cotton Bandha | Pasapali","description":"\u003cp\u003eBhargavi is an original Sambalpuri cotton saree woven in crisp white mercerized cotton with a solid red border, carrying the handloom Sambalpuri saree tradition of Odisha in every thread. Tiny buta motifs scatter across the body, fish motifs run along the top and bottom edges, and ikat flower patterns anchor the pallu in a quiet, measured composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Craft Behind Bhargavi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBhargavi is made using Bandha, the double ikat technique practised by Bhulia weavers of Odisha. In the Bandhakala process, both warp and weft threads are individually resist-dyed by tying them in precise patterns before a single pass of the shuttle. When weaving begins, the pre-dyed threads align so that each motif — fish, buta, and ikat flower — appears simultaneously on both axes of the cloth. There is no room for error: misalignment of even a few threads disrupts the pattern entirely. This GI certified Sambalpuri saree takes 10 to 15 days to complete on a handloom, a duration that reflects the exacting nature of double ikat work rather than production volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Bhargavi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercerized cotton carries a faint natural sheen without heaviness. Bhargavi drapes smoothly, holds its pleats, and moves with the wearer rather than against her. The weight is comfortable across long hours, and the fabric breathes well in warm conditions. As a Sambalpuri saree for wedding ceremonies, the white ground and red border follow a classical Odishan pairing with restrained formality. For a Sambalpuri saree for puja, the fish motif — a symbol of auspiciousness in Odishan craft tradition — makes Bhargavi particularly fitting. As a Sambalpuri cotton saree for office, the structured buta layout and clean border keep the drape composed through the day. The fish motif at the hem stays visible in most draping styles, grounding the wearer in the craft's symbolism without ornamentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBhargavi is part of the Pasapali collection of authentic Sambalpuri handloom sarees, sourced directly from Bhulia weavers of Odisha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBhargavi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSaree Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSambalpuri Bandha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTradition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSambalpuri Handloom (GI Certified)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeave\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandloom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTechnique\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBandha — Double Ikat (Bandhakala)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMercerized Cotton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThread Count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarp 120 \/ Weft 120\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\u003eWhite\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\u003eTiny buta all over the body; fish motif along top and bottom edges with border\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBorder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid plain red border with fish motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePallu\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIkat flower motifs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKey Motifs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFish, Buta, Ikat Flower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWoven By\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBhulia Weavers, Odisha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeave Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10–15 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGI Tag\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSambalpuri Handloom\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\u003eWedding, Puja, Office, Festive occasions\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    Bhargavi is part of Pasapali's collection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/collections\/all\"\u003eSambalpuri 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":47999345197230,"sku":"PS-MC-WHI-RED-112","price":8700.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5855\/6590\/files\/bhargavi-bhargavi-white-red-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha-1.jpg?v=1781809375","url":"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/products\/bhargavi-white-red-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha","provider":"Pasapali","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
