The mercerized finish gives the cloth a quiet, even sheen without altering its handloom character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Craft Behind Kamal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKamal is woven using the Bandha technique — a double ikat process known in Odisha as \u003cstrong\u003eBandhakala\u003c\/strong\u003e. In this method, both the warp and weft threads are resist-dyed in precise sections before a single pass of weaving begins. The dye is blocked by tightly bound ties, so when the threads are finally placed on the loom, their colours align to form motifs simultaneously across both axes of the cloth. This demands absolute accuracy: any shift in thread position breaks the pattern. Bhulia weavers of Odisha have practised this discipline across generations. Each Kamal saree takes 10 to 15 days on the loom to complete. It carries the \u003cstrong\u003eGI certified Sambalpuri saree\u003c\/strong\u003e tag and the Government of India Handloom Mark, confirming its origin and hand-weaving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Kamal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercerized cotton drapes with a composed weight — it does not cling or stiffen. Kamal holds its fold, moves cleanly with the body and remains cool across long hours of wear. The black ground holds the maroon border geometry and the lotus and fish motifs of the body with clarity, making it a considered choice as a \u003cstrong\u003eSambalpuri saree for wedding\u003c\/strong\u003e ceremonies where restraint carries more weight than ornament. The Rudraksha and phula border holds equal presence at a \u003cstrong\u003eSambalpuri saree for puja\u003c\/strong\u003e, where motif meaning is recognised. For daily formal contexts, Kamal works as a \u003cstrong\u003eSambalpuri cotton saree for office\u003c\/strong\u003e — the mercerized finish reads as polished without effort, and the cotton breathes through the day. The Padma pallu completes the drape with a motif that has moved through Odishan textile tradition for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKamal is part of Pasapali's collection of \u003cstrong\u003eauthentic Sambalpuri handloom sarees\u003c\/strong\u003e — each recorded by weaver, technique and origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKamal\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\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSecondary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaroon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLotus (Padma), Fish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBorder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRudraksha motif, Phula motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePallu\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLotus (Padma)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKey Motifs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLotus, Fish, Rudraksha, Phula\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, Formal 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    Kamal 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":67729793941678,"sku":"PS-MC-BLA-MAR-500","price":17800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5855\/6590\/files\/kamal-kamal-black-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha-merceri-15.jpg?v=1792464581","url":"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/products\/kamal-black-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha-mercerized-cotton","provider":"Pasapali","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
