{"product_id":"neelambari-teal-green-sambalpuri-bandha-sambalpuri-cotton-saree","title":"Neelambari Sambalpuri Cotton Saree | Bandha Mercerized Cotton | Pasapali","description":"\u003cp\u003eNeelambari is an original Sambalpuri cotton saree woven in teal green and blue — an authentic Sambalpuri handloom saree carrying flower motifs across the body, a fish-motif border, and a pallu anchored by the Konark chakra alongside flowering forms. The depth of teal in this cotton saree holds well across folds and drape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Craft Behind Neelambari\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeelambari is woven through the Bandha double ikat process, a technique in which both warp and weft threads are bound and resist-dyed before the weaving begins. Because dyeing precedes interlacing, the motifs emerge simultaneously from both thread directions — a level of alignment that cannot be replicated by printing or embroidery. This is the Bandhakala process as practised by Bhulia weavers of Odisha, carried across generations without interruption. On mercerized cotton, a single piece of this GI certified Sambalpuri saree takes 10 to 15 days on the handloom. The GI tag — Sambalpuri Handloom — and the Government of India Handloom Mark together confirm the origin and the hand that made it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Neelambari\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercerized cotton carries a faint sheen without heaviness. Neelambari settles into pleats cleanly and allows air to move through — a quality that matters across a full day of wear. The teal ground keeps the fish-motif border visible without it competing with the Konark chakra at the pallu. As a Sambalpuri saree for wedding occasions, the structured pallu drapes with intention. As a Sambalpuri saree for puja, the Konark chakra and flower motifs carry recognisable cultural weight. As a Sambalpuri cotton saree for office, the weight and weave hold their shape through working hours without becoming rigid. The motifs on this saree speak to the wearer directly — the fish at the border, movement; the chakra at the pallu, grounding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeelambari is part of the Pasapali range of handloom Sambalpuri sarees woven in direct partnership with Bhulia weavers, Odisha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeelambari\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\u003eTeal Green\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\u003eFlower motifs\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\u003eFlower motif, Konark Chakra motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKey Motifs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFish, Flower, Konark Chakra\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    Neelambari 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":47939844538542,"sku":"PS-MC-TEA-BLU-01","price":11300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5855\/6590\/files\/neelambari-neelambari-teal-green-sambalpuri-bandha-sambalpuri-3.jpg?v=1780517740","url":"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/products\/neelambari-teal-green-sambalpuri-bandha-sambalpuri-cotton-saree","provider":"Pasapali","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
