{"product_id":"purvasha-black-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha","title":"Purvasha Sambalpuri Cotton Saree | Black Bandha Mercerized Cotton | Pasapali","description":"\u003cp\u003ePurvasha is an original Sambalpuri cotton saree woven in mercerized cotton, part of the handloom Sambalpuri saree tradition of Odisha. This all-black saree carries jala-technique checks across the body in the Daanti style, fish motifs along the border, and ikat patterns across the pallu — each element emerging from threads that were dyed before a single pass of the shuttle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Craft Behind Purvasha\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurvasha is made using the Bandha technique, a form of double ikat practised by Bhulia weavers of Odisha under the Bandhakala process. Before weaving begins, both warp and weft threads are separately resist-dyed — tied at precise intervals, immersed in dye, and then aligned on the loom so that motifs materialise simultaneously on both axes as the cloth is woven. A single misalignment breaks the pattern. For a mercerized cotton saree at 120 warp and 120 weft threads per inch, this process takes 10 to 15 days on the loom. Purvasha carries a GI certified Sambalpuri saree designation, backed by the Government of India Handloom Mark — confirmation that the weave, the community, and the craft process meet documented standards of the authentic Sambalpuri handloom tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Purvasha\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercerized cotton holds its shape while remaining noticeably lighter than silk, and the hand-feel of this ikat saree Odisha weavers have produced is firm yet fluid. The 5.40-metre length drapes cleanly in the Nivi or Odishan style, with the pallu falling without excessive bulk. The jala checks across the body create a quiet surface rhythm that reads as structured without being heavy — a quality that makes this Sambalpuri cotton saree for office wear a considered choice for a long working day. The fish-motif border brings a line of craft detail that holds at a distance, making this equally a Sambalpuri saree for puja and ceremonial use. For those drawn to restrained, craft-grounded dressing, Purvasha also works as a Sambalpuri saree for wedding attendance where the saree should speak through its weave rather than its colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePurvasha is part of the Pasapali collection of handloom Sambalpuri sarees — each piece woven to record, not to ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurvasha\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, included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrimary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\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\u003eDaanti Saree — jala technique checks across the full body\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\u003eIkat patterns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKey Motifs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFish (border), ikat (pallu), jala checks (body)\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, formal 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    Purvasha 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":47936207782062,"sku":"PS-MC-BLA-BLA-01","price":10200.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5855\/6590\/files\/purvasha-purvasha-black-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha-1.jpg?v=1780426157","url":"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/products\/purvasha-black-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha","provider":"Pasapali","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
