The mercerized cotton carries colour with clarity, and the contrast between the two blues holds its depth through the weave itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Craft Behind Kumudini\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKumudini is produced through the Bandha technique — a double ikat process known as Bandhakala — practised by Bhulia weavers of Odisha. In this method, both warp and weft threads are individually resist-dyed by tying them in precise patterns before a single pass of weaving begins. When the threads finally meet on the loom, the motifs emerge simultaneously from both directions, aligning without the use of any guide print or stencil. This alignment is achieved entirely through the weaver's knowledge of thread count and dye placement. Each Kumudini takes 10 to 15 days on the loom. As an authentic Sambalpuri handloom saree carrying the GI certified Sambalpuri saree mark, every piece from Pasapali is also certified under the Government of India Handloom Mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Kumudini\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercerized cotton carries a faint sheen without added weight, and Kumudini drapes with a clean fall that holds its pleats through a full day of wear. The fabric breathes well, making it a considered choice as a Sambalpuri cotton saree for office — structured enough for formal settings, comfortable across long hours. The Plula and shankha motifs on the pallu give it a ritual presence that suits a Sambalpuri saree for puja, where the motifs carry their own symbolic weight. For a Sambalpuri saree for wedding, the fish-motif border grounds the sky blue field with a traditional Odishan register that reads with quiet authority. The Plula Lata on the body moves with the drape rather than against it, so the wearer carries the pattern rather than being framed by it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKumudini is part of the Pasapali range of handloom Sambalpuri sarees, woven to document and sustain the Bandhakala tradition of Odisha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKumudini\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\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrimary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eaqua green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSecondary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNavy Blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlula Lata motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBorder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFish motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePallu\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlula, Shankha motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKey Motifs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlula Lata, Fish, Shankha, Plula\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\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExplore More Handloom Sarees\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKumudini is part of Pasapali's collection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/collections\/all\"\u003eSambalpuri Handloom sarees\u003c\/a\u003e from Odisha.
