{"product_id":"vasumati-maroon-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha","title":"Vasumati Sambalpuri Cotton Saree | Mercerized Cotton Bandha | Pasapali","description":"\u003cp\u003eVasumati is an original Sambalpuri cotton saree woven in mercerized cotton, presenting deep maroon and red tones across a body of ikat phula lata motifs — a handloom Sambalpuri saree where every thread carries the memory of resist dyeing before a single pass of the loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Craft Behind Vasumati\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVasumati is produced through the Bandha technique — a double ikat process called Bandhakala in which both warp and weft threads are individually resist-dyed and bound before weaving begins. When the threads finally meet on the loom, the motifs emerge in precise alignment across both axes simultaneously. This is the defining discipline of the GI certified Sambalpuri saree tradition. Bhulia weavers of Odisha carry this knowledge across generations; for a mercerized cotton weave of this density at 120 warp and 120 weft threads, the loom time runs between 10 and 15 days. No printed approximation of the motif is possible — the pattern is built entirely inside the thread before the fabric exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing Vasumati\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercerized cotton at this thread count drapes with a quiet weight — firm enough to hold pleats through a long occasion, light enough to breathe through summer heat. The phula lata motif moves across the body in measured repetition, and the Rudraksha border gives the edge a structured, devotional character. Vasumati works as a Sambalpuri saree for wedding ceremonies where understated depth is preferred over surface embellishment. The Rudraksha border also makes it a considered choice as a Sambalpuri saree for puja. The fabric's breathability and the restraint of the colour palette make it equally suited as a Sambalpuri cotton saree for office wear. The motifs on the pallu mirror those on the body — a coherence that only double ikat alignment can produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVasumati is part of the Pasapali collection of authentic Sambalpuri handloom sarees, each woven and certified under the Government of India Handloom Mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ftbl\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVasumati\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)\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\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIkat Phula Lata 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\u003eIkat Phula Lata Motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eKey Motifs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhula Lata, Rudraksha\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    Vasumati 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":47999335596206,"sku":"PS-MC-MAR-RED-*","price":7800.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/5855\/6590\/files\/vasumati-vasumati-maroon-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha-1.jpg?v=1781809354","url":"https:\/\/pasapali.com\/products\/vasumati-maroon-sambalpuri-cotton-saree-bandha","provider":"Pasapali","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
