Dark-Cheddar Handloom Bomkai Sari from Orissa with Temple Border and Fishes Woven on Pallu

$431
Includes any tariffs and taxes
The unmistakable aspect of Orissa's Bomkai sarees is the muhajorhi endpiece. Muhajorhi refers to the contrasting colours and the angular discontinueous supplementary wefts that characterise the pallu, resulting in folk motifs. The marigold-and-silver Bomkai number you see on this page has a minimalistic endpiece - bands of silver punctuated by black, with miniscule saltwater fishes forming a one-of-a-kind pattern. The black goes on along the entire edge of these nine yards, making for a narrow border that brings out the beauty of the rest of this saree.

This saree is the colour of dense marigold petals, which shimmers from the pure silk it is made from. It is a solid colour, but for the long, tapering templetop motifs of the border jutting into the field. From everyday Tamil sarees to the one-of-a-kind Paithani numbers, the templetop-bordered saree is a traditional motif that never goes out of fashion in India, which means you cannot go wrong with this purchase. Teamed with some statement hand-me-down jewellery, this saree would look as good at poojas and havans as it would on weddings and parties.

A Masterpiece of Handloom Tradition

Immerse yourself in the rich heritage of Indian textiles with this exquisite handloom Bomkai sari, meticulously crafted in the heart of Orissa. Woven from the finest pure silk, this sari is a testament to the enduring artistry of traditional weavers. The lustrous sheen of the silk, combined with its supple drape, ensures you will feel as elegant as you look. The striking dark cheddar orange hue forms a vibrant canvas, punctuated by bold, angular motifs that evoke the raw power of nature. These eye-catching patterns, rendered in deep, earthy tones, lend a contemporary edge to the timeless silk weave, making this sari a truly unique statement piece.

Intricate Borders and a Captivating Pallu

The beauty of this Bomkai sari extends beyond its body. A striking black border frames the radiant orange fabric, providing a sophisticated contrast. This border is not merely a decorative element; it is a meticulously woven temple border, a hallmark of traditional Odia artistry, symbolizing architectural grandeur and spiritual depth. The real showstopper, however, is the pallu. Here, skilled artisans have woven a mesmerizing pattern of fishes, a motif often associated with prosperity and abundance. The intricate detail and subtle shimmer of the woven fish bring life and movement to the silk, creating a focal point that is both visually stunning and symbolically meaningful. The dense, geometric patterns within the temple border and the detailed fish motifs on the pallu showcase the incredible skill and patience involved in Bomkai weaving, where each thread is carefully placed to create a masterpiece.

A Touch of Royal Elegance

The combination of the vibrant orange silk, the classic temple border, and the symbolic fish motif creates a sari that is both striking and deeply traditional. It is perfect for special occasions, festive celebrations, or any event where you wish to make a sophisticated and memorable entrance. The pure silk ensures a luxurious feel against the skin, while the handloom weaving guarantees its exclusivity and the artisanal quality of each piece. This sari is more than just an garment; it is a piece of wearable art, a celebration of Indian culture and craftsmanship that you will cherish for years to come. Whether you are a connoisseur of fine textiles or simply seeking a garment that exudes elegance and tradition, this Bomkai silk sari promises to captivate and impress.
