Pink runs through the body with phula buta and diamond butas, anchored by a Rudraksha motif border in blue and red, and a pallu carrying ikat flower motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Craft Behind Damayanti\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDamayanti is woven by Bhulia weavers of Odisha using the Bandha technique — a double ikat process known as Bandhakala in which both warp and weft threads are individually resist-dyed before a single pass of weaving begins. Each thread bundle is measured, tied, and dyed in precise sequence so that the motifs — the Rudraksha forms on the border, the phula butas across the body — emerge in alignment only when warp meets weft on the loom. There is no correcting placement after weaving starts. A GI certified Sambalpuri saree of this count requires 10 to 15 days on the loom for cotton, and the thread count of 120 warp by 120 weft ensures the surface holds both clarity of motif and softness of hand. This is authentic Sambalpuri handloom work with no mechanical assist in the ikat dyeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Damayanti\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercerized cotton at this thread count drapes with a quiet weight — it moves without pulling and settles into pleats without stiffening. The surface carries a mild sheen from the mercerization, which makes the pink ground catch light without appearing heavy. The phula buta and diamond butas across the body create a rhythm that reads well both up close and at distance, which suits a Sambalpuri saree for wedding ceremonies where the wearer is seen from across a hall. The Rudraksha border grounds the drape for a Sambalpuri saree for puja, carrying a motif that holds devotional significance in Odishan textile tradition. For a Sambalpuri cotton saree for office wear, the weight and the restrained palette make Damayanti practical across a full day without effort. The ikat flower motifs on the pallu remain the focal point however the saree is draped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDamayanti is part of Pasapali's ongoing work to document and distribute authentic Sambalpuri handloom sarees directly from the Bhulia weaving community of Odisha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDamayanti\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 (blouse piece included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrimary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePink\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSecondary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue \u0026amp; Red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhula Buta and Diamond Butas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBorder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRudraksha 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\u003eRudraksha, Phula Buta, Diamond 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    Damayanti 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":47999263375534,"sku":"PS-MC-PIN-RED-75","price":9800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5855\/6590\/files\/damayanti-damayanti-pink-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha-ikat-3.jpg?v=1781809150","url":"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/products\/damayanti-pink-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha-ikat","provider":"Pasapali","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
