STORY BEHIND THIS CRAFT
The art of Appliqué (locally known as Chandua) has flourished for over 800 years in the heritage village of Pipili, near Puri in Odisha. Originally created for the Jagannath Temple, this intricate craft was used to make ceremonial canopies, banners, and coverings for temple chariots during festivals like Rath Yatra.
Appliqué involves the skilled layering and stitching of hand-cut fabric motifs—typically animals, flowers, and sacred symbols—onto a contrasting base cloth. While cotton was traditionally used, velvet became a luxurious adaptation, offering a rich texture that elevated the art from temple rituals to decorative lifestyle products.
Today, Pipili's appliqué craft is recognized as a Geographical Indication (GI)-tagged heritage, symbolizing authenticity and cultural value. Whether adorning a home or serving as a functional utility item like a laundry bag, each handcrafted piece tells a story of Odisha’s devotion, color, and craftsmanship.
When you choose an appliqué velvet product, you're not just choosing artisanal elegance—you’re preserving a living tradition and supporting the skilled hands that keep this heritage alive.
