This handloom Sambalpuri saree draws its name from a floral sensibility — kusuma meaning flower — carried through the traditional phula motifs that bloom across the pallu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Craft Behind Kusumavali\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKusumavali is produced using Bandha, the double ikat technique rooted in the Bandhakala process of Odisha. Before a single thread passes through the loom, warp and weft yarns are separately bound and resist-dyed so that motifs are encoded into each thread. When weaving begins, the Bhulia weavers of Odisha align these pre-dyed threads with careful hand and eye so that the phula motifs emerge simultaneously on both axes — a convergence that cannot be corrected after the fact. On mercerized cotton, this process takes 10 to 15 days per saree. Each piece carries the GI certified Sambalpuri saree mark and the Government of India Handloom Mark, confirming its origin and craft integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Kusumavali\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercerized cotton gives Kusumavali a weight that is settled without being heavy. The thread count of 120 warp by 120 weft produces a surface that is smooth to the hand and holds its drape through a full day of wear without slackening. The off-white body keeps the saree open and unhurried in feel. It sits well as a Sambalpuri cotton saree for office, where the restrained border and clean body read as composed rather than ornate. The phula pallu lends it enough presence for a Sambalpuri saree for puja, and the blue-and-off-white colour pairing gives it the quiet formality suited to a Sambalpuri saree for wedding attendance — for the wearer who prefers considered over conspicuous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKusumavali is part of the Pasapali collection of authentic Sambalpuri handloom sarees, documenting the Bhulia weaving 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\u003eKusumavali\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)\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\u003e47 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\u003eOff-White\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\u003eSolid plain body in off-white\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBorder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEk phulia and kathiphera traditional border\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePallu\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTraditional flower phula motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKey Motifs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhula (flower), Ek phulia, Kathiphera\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, Everyday formal wear\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\u003eKusumavali is part of Pasapali's collection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/collections\/all\"\u003eSambalpuri Handloom sarees\u003c\/a\u003e from Odisha.
