{"product_id":"indulekha-white-blue-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha","title":"Indulekha Sambalpuri Cotton Saree | Mercerized Cotton Bandha | Pasapali","description":"\u003cp\u003eIndulekha is an original Sambalpuri cotton saree woven in mercerized cotton, presenting a white body scattered with geometric blue flower patterns and a deep blue pallu carrying the same floral geometry across its full width. The Rudraksha motif borders frame the drape with measured rhythm, connecting body to pallu in the vocabulary of authentic Sambalpuri handloom saree craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Craft Behind Indulekha\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndulekha is woven through the Bandhakala process — the Bandha double ikat technique practiced by Bhulia weavers of Odisha. Before a single thread is placed on the loom, both warp and weft threads are hand-tied in precise sequence, then resist-dyed so that each section absorbs colour only where intended. When the threads are finally woven together, the geometric flower motifs and Rudraksha border emerge simultaneously on both axes, locking into alignment across the entire cloth. This synchronised resist-dyeing across warp and weft is what separates a GI certified Sambalpuri saree from any printed or embroidered imitation. A single Indulekha takes 10 to 15 days on the loom. Every hour of that time is a direct measure of the weaver's precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Indulekha\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercerized cotton carries a quiet sheen that catches light without weight. Indulekha drapes cleanly, holds its pleats, and breathes through long hours — a Sambalpuri cotton saree for office worn through a full working day without fatigue. The white body with its scattered blue florals reads with restraint in daylight and with presence in candlelight, making it a considered Sambalpuri saree for puja. At the same time, the blue pallu with its dense geometric field and the precisely placed Rudraksha borders give Indulekha the structural gravity of a Sambalpuri saree for wedding worn by someone who chooses craft over ornament. The weave sits close to the skin, soft from the mercerization, and moves with the body rather than against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIndulekha is part of the Pasapali handloom Sambalpuri saree collection, sourced directly from Bhulia weaver families in Odisha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndulekha\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\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGeometrical blue flower patterns all over white body\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\u003eGeometrical flower patterns all over blue pallu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKey Motifs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGeometric florals, Rudraksha\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    Indulekha 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":47984064856238,"sku":"PS-MC-WHI-BLU-106","price":13400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5855\/6590\/files\/indulekha-indulekha-white-blue-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandh-10.jpg?v=1781453834","url":"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/products\/indulekha-white-blue-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha","provider":"Pasapali","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
