About Khandua Sarees – Woven Stories from Odisha

Khandua is one of the most treasured weaves from Odisha, known not just for its beauty but also for its deep cultural and spiritual connection. Traditionally offered to Lord Jagannath of Puri, the Khandua saree holds a sacred place in Odisha’s heritage.

These sarees are crafted using the "Bandha Kala" or Ikkat tie & dye technique, where each motif is skillfully tied and dyed on the yarns before weaving. The motifs often carry inspiration from mythology, nature, and temple art—from elephants and conch shells to the famous Kumbha (temple tower) design—each symbol telling a unique story.

Khandua sarees are available in both pure mulberry silk and fine cotton. The silk Khanduas (Khandua Pata) are extremely lightweight, soft, and elegant, making them ideal for festive and ceremonial occasions. The cotton variants are airy, breathable, and perfect for everyday wear, especially in the Indian climate.

Whether you choose silk or cotton, the true soul of a Khandua saree lies in its patterns that feature intricate designs and storytelling motifs that reflect the essence of Odisha’s culture since the 12th century.

A Khandua saree is not just a piece of clothing—it is a living tradition, a handwoven expression of devotion, art, and identity.
