{"product_id":"sandhya-rust-kotpad-natural-dye-cotton-saree","title":"Sandhya — Rust Kotpad Saree | Natural Dye","description":"\u003cp\u003eSandhya is a Kotpad handloom saree woven in rust, off-white, and brown — an original Kotpad saree online from Pasapali, carrying tribal motifs of the macha (fish) and pharsa (axe) across a handspun cotton body with an earthy, grounded drape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Craft Behind Sandhya\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSandhya is rooted in the aal bark dyeing tradition of Kotpad, Odisha. The bark of the aal tree (Morinda citrifolia) is collected, boiled slowly, and the cotton fibres are soaked in the prepared bath over repeated immersions. Colour is fixed entirely through natural mordants — no synthetic chemicals are used at any stage. This process is what produces the signature rust and brown tones distinctive to the GI certified Kotpad textile. The Mirgan tribal weavers of Odisha have maintained this vegetable dye tradition for generations, working with handspun cotton on pit looms to produce cloth that is both tactile and enduring. Each piece carries the Government of India Handloom Mark, confirming authenticity and handmade origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Sandhya\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandspun cotton gives Sandhya a slightly textured hand that settles softly against the body. The fabric is breathable and holds its drape without stiffness, making it well-suited to long hours of wear. The weight is moderate — grounded enough to fall cleanly, light enough to move without effort. As a Kotpad saree for ethnic wear, the rust ground and tribal motifs read as considered and composed. As a Kotpad saree for festivals, the kumbha border — raised through the multi-shuttle interlocking method — adds a measured formality. As a natural dyed saree for gifting, Sandhya carries meaning beyond its surface: the macha and pharsa motifs woven into the pallu and body connect the wearer to a living craft lineage from Odisha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSandhya is part of the Kotpad handloom saree collection at Pasapali, a record of authentic Kotpad textile as it continues to be woven today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSandhya\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSaree Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKotpad Natural Dye Saree\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTradition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKotpad 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\u003eOrganic Vegetable Dye Weaving; Extra-Weft; Multi-Shuttle Interlocking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandspun Cotton\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\u003eRust\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSecondary Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOff-White \u0026amp; Brown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacha (Fish) and Pharsa (Axe) Tribal Motifs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBorder\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKumbha — Raised Temple Border via Extra-Weft and Multi-Shuttle Interlocking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePallu\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacha and Pharsa Tribal Motifs via Extra-Weft Technique\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKey Motifs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMacha (Fish), Pharsa (Axe), Kumbha (Temple)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWoven By\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMirgan Tribal Weavers, Odisha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeave Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25–30 Days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGI Tag\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKotpad Textile\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\u003eEthnic Wear, Festivals, Gifting\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    Sandhya is part of Pasapali's collection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/collections\/all\"\u003eKotpad 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":49375826935982,"sku":"PS-TC-O-057","price":28500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5855\/6590\/files\/sandhya-sandhya-rust-kotpad-natural-dye-cotton-saree-3.jpg?v=1789656436","url":"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/products\/sandhya-rust-kotpad-natural-dye-cotton-saree","provider":"Pasapali","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
