Deep maroon grounds intricate Konark chakra and temple motifs across the body, anchored by a fish motif border and a pallu of flower and jhoti designs rendered in warm brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Craft Behind Konark Chakrika\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis GI certified Sambalpuri saree is produced through the Bandhakala process — the Bandha double ikat technique practised by Bhulia weavers of Odisha. Before a single thread meets the loom, both warp and weft threads are individually bound and resist-dyed, section by section, so that the motifs are locked into the thread itself. When weaving begins, the design emerges simultaneously across both axes of the fabric. There is no printing, no embroidery — only the alignment of pre-dyed threads. On mercerized cotton, this process requires 10 to 15 days on the loom. Every Konark chakra visible in this saree is the result of that painstaking, pre-weave calculation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWearing Konark Chakrika\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMercerized cotton carries a quiet sheen without the weight of silk. The fabric drapes cleanly, holds a pleat without stiffness, and breathes through long occasions. The maroon ground reads richly in natural and artificial light alike. As a Sambalpuri saree for wedding rituals, the temple and chakra motifs carry cultural weight that is immediately legible to those who know the tradition. As a Sambalpuri saree for puja, the jhoti and flower pallu motifs align with the visual language of Odishan ceremony. Day to day, this is a Sambalpuri cotton saree for office that moves without demanding attention while still holding the authority of a handloom cloth. The fish border at the wrist and the chakra at the chest speak to the wearer, not the observer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKonark Chakrika is part of Pasapali's ongoing commitment to handloom Sambalpuri sarees woven within the authentic Sambalpuri handloom tradition of Odisha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKonark Chakrika\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 process\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\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrimary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaroon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSecondary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKonark chakra and temple motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBorder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFish motif border\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePallu\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlower and jhoti motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKey Motifs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKonark chakra, temple, fish, flower, jhoti\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    Konark Chakrika 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":47986755272878,"sku":"PS-MC-MAR-BRO-95","price":11400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5855\/6590\/files\/konark-chakrika-konark-chakrika-maroon-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-ban-1.jpg?v=1781549598","url":"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/products\/konark-chakrika-maroon-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha","provider":"Pasapali","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
