Bark is harvested, boiled in water, and the fibres are soaked in successive baths until the hue settles deep into the yarn — no synthetic fixatives, no chemicals. The resulting tones are warm, earthy, and permanent in a way only natural processes produce. The Mirgan tribal weavers of Kotpad, Odisha have practised this vegetable dye tradition across generations, working with handspun cotton and Tussar silk on pit looms. Each pass of the shuttle is deliberate; the authentic Kotpad handloom cannot be rushed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Dharani\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTussar Cotton Silk carries a texture that is neither stiff nor fluid — it holds its fold, drapes with body, and sits lightly on the shoulder. The handspun quality gives the surface a slight slub, a tactile honesty absent from mill-made cloth. The macha and pharsa motifs woven across the body travel with the wearer rather than standing apart from her. Dharani works as a Kotpad saree for ethnic wear where the drape and the occasion align without effort. It carries equally well as a Kotpad saree for festivals, where the tribal motifs read at a distance. And as a natural dyed saree for gifting, the aal bark palette — muted, warm, dual-shade — holds meaning beyond the cloth itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDharani is part of Pasapali's commitment to authentic Kotpad handloom — where the record of a weaver's labour remains visible in every thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDharani\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandloom Saree\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\u003eOrganic Vegetable Dye Weaving\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTechnique\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtra-weft; Multi-shuttle Interlocking; Aal Bark Natural Dyeing\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\u003eDual Shade (Aal Bark Earthy Tones)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSecondary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTribal macha (fish) and pharsa (axe) motifs — extra-weft technique\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBorder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKumbha — raised solid temple border via extra-weft 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 macha (fish) and pharsa (axe) motifs — 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, Kotpad, 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    Dharani 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":49375842140334,"sku":"PS-TC-O-060","price":28500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5855\/6590\/files\/dharani-dharani-dual-shade-kotpad-saree-natural-dye-tussar-1.jpg?v=1789656499","url":"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/products\/dharani-dual-shade-kotpad-saree-natural-dye-tussar","provider":"Pasapali","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
