Sambalpur in the state of Orissa, or Odisha, India. It is famous for its Sambalpuri variety of cotton and silk fabrics, using Ikkat patterns or the tie-dye method in their making. The Ikkat style of weaving is employed in the hand-woven Sambalpuri salwar kameez using geometrical patterns. Ikkat is a technique which involves applying bindings, which resist dye penetration to the threads in pre-determined patterns, and then dyeing the threads. These dyed threads are then woven to produce the desired pattern. Within the ikkat style are variants of single-ikkat and double-ikkat. Alternately the tie-die method of weaving and then dyeing, known as ‘bandhakala’ is also used. Here the threads are first woven and the resist bindings then applied to the fabric before dyeing it. Shanka, chakra, or floral pattern motifs may be seen on the base fabric, with designer colours and patterns chosen to provide the traditionally woven punjabi suit, the modern look. The Sambalpuri Bomkai, is a print that has an appealing look on account of depictions of nature, animals and birds, and is preferred for traditional functions and festive occasions. ...
