Colourful Orange Floral Prints Ikkat Saree

Odisha Ikat sarees, also known as Odisha or Orissa Ikkat sarees, are traditional handwoven sarees from the eastern Indian state of Odisha. These sarees are recognized for their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and the unique Ikat weaving technique.

Ikat is a resist dyeing technique where the yarns are tied and dyed before being woven into fabric. This process creates intricate patterns as the resist dyeing prevents the color from reaching certain parts of the yarn. Odisha Ikat sarees are often woven with natural fibers, including silk, cotton, or a blend of both. Silk Ikat sarees are particularly prized for their luxurious texture and sheen.

Common motifs in Odisha Ikat sarees include floral patterns, animal motifs, geometric shapes, and traditional Odia cultural symbols. Ikat sarees are versatile and can be worn on various occasions, from casual gatherings to festive events. They are often worn during cultural and religious ceremonies in Odisha. 

These sarees showcase the timeless artistry of Odisha's weavers and the cultural significance embedded in every thread. Each Odisha Ikat saree is a testament to the craftsmanship and creativity of the artisans who bring these vibrant textiles to life. Odisha Ikkat Saree was GI tagged in the year 2006.
