{"product_id":"matangi-maroon-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha","title":"Matangi Sambalpuri Cotton Saree | Bandha Mercerized Cotton | Pasapali","description":"\u003cp\u003eMatangi is an original Sambalpuri cotton saree woven in deep maroon and black mercerized cotton, carrying tribal and flower motifs across its body, a Rudraksha border, and a bird and flower pallu — each element placed through the precision of authentic Sambalpuri handloom tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Craft Behind Matangi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatangi is woven using the Bandha technique, a double ikat process at the heart of the Bandhakala tradition from Odisha. Before a single thread crosses the loom, both warp and weft threads are individually resist-dyed — bound tightly so that dye penetrates only where the motif must appear. When the weaving begins, the pre-dyed threads align across both axes at once, and the motif emerges from the cloth itself rather than being applied to it. This is what makes a GI certified Sambalpuri saree distinct from any printed or embroidered fabric. Matangi is handwoven by Bhulia weavers in Odisha, who spend 10 to 15 days at the loom for a single mercerized cotton saree of this count and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Matangi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercerized cotton carries a quiet sheen and a firmer hand than standard cotton, yet it drapes with ease and breathes well across long wear. The 120 x 120 thread count gives Matangi a consistent, close weave that holds its shape through a full day. The maroon and black palette reads as composed and grounded. As a Sambalpuri saree for wedding occasions, the Rudraksha border and bird motif pallu carry cultural weight without excess. As a Sambalpuri saree for puja, the tribal and flower body motifs hold a connection to Odishan devotional craft. As a Sambalpuri cotton saree for office, the weight and structure keep the drape neat across a working day. The motifs do not demand attention — they reward it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMatangi is part of the Pasapali collection of handloom Sambalpuri sarees, sourced directly from Bhulia weaving communities in Odisha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatangi\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\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\u003eMaroon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSecondary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTribal and flower motif\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\u003eBird and flower motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKey Motifs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRudraksha, bird, flower, tribal\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    Matangi 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":47984951427246,"sku":"PS-MC-MAR-BLA-102","price":8700.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5855\/6590\/files\/matangi-matangi-maroon-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha-1.jpg?v=1781502206","url":"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/products\/matangi-maroon-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha","provider":"Pasapali","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
