STORY BEHIND THIS SAREE
Tussar silk, often referred to as ‘wild silk,’ is derived from silkworms that thrive in sal and arjuna forests. The art of Tussar weaving in Odisha dates back centuries, deeply influenced by the state’s temple architecture, tribal art, and cultural traditions. The motifs found on Tussar silk sarees—floral patterns, sacred temple borders, and geometric designs—carry spiritual and historical symbolism. These sarees are often worn during festivals, weddings, and traditional ceremonies, representing grace and heritage.
CRAFTSMANSHIP & THE WEAVING PROCESS
The making of a handwoven Odisha Tussar silk saree is a labor-intensive process that requires exceptional skill and patience:
-
Silk Extraction – The Tussar silk threads are carefully extracted from cocoons found in the forests of Odisha, known for their rich texture and natural golden sheen.
-
Hand Spinning & Dyeing – The raw silk is processed, hand-spun, and dyed using natural and eco-friendly methods to enhance its softness and durability.
-
Weaving on Traditional Looms – The saree is meticulously woven on handlooms, ensuring that each piece is unique, lightweight, and breathable while retaining its intricate patterns.
-
Hand-Painted Pattachitra Artwork – After weaving, skilled Pattachitra artists (Chitrakars) meticulously hand-paint intricate mythological, temple, and nature-inspired motifs onto the saree. Using natural dyes and fine detailing techniques, they transform the saree into a wearable canvas of Odisha’s rich artistic heritage.
-
Finishing Touches – The final saree undergoes fixation treatments to preserve the artwork, followed by quality checks, washing, and sun-drying to maintain its authenticity, durability, and softness.
Each Hand-Painted Pattachitra Tussar Silk Saree is a one-of-a-kind creation, blending the elegance of handloom weaving with the timeless beauty of Pattachitra art, making it a true collector’s piece.
