Colourful Red & Black Khandua Saree

 Khandua sarees, also known as Khandua pata sarees, are traditional handwoven sarees that originate from Odisha, India. These sarees are renowned for their intricate weaving, vibrant colors, and unique motifs. 

Khandua sarees are predominantly woven with silk, giving them a luxurious and rich texture. The use of silk adds to the luster and drape of the saree. Often, zari work is incorporated into Khandua sarees, adding a touch of metallic brilliance to the designs. Khandua sarees are woven using the traditional warp and weft technique. The weaving is done on pit looms, and the intricate designs are achieved through the interplay of multiple threads.

Khandua sarees are known for their vibrant and contrasting color combinations. Bright hues like red, green, yellow, and orange are commonly used, creating visually stunning sarees. One of the distinctive features of Khandua sarees is the presence of temple motifs. These motifs often depict scenes from Hindu mythology, including temple structures, deities, and traditional Odia culture.

Khandua sarees represent not just a piece of clothing but also a cultural heritage, reflecting the rich traditions and craftsmanship of Odisha. The combination of silk, vibrant colors, intricate motifs, and traditional weaving techniques makes Khandua sarees highly prized and sought after by connoisseurs of handwoven textiles.
