ANOKHI LAAL TITLI BOMKAI HERITAGE COTTON SAREE

 The name Bomkai originates from a village in the Ganjam district of Odisha. The lightweight cotton weave is perfect for regular wear and the silk ones, with their shine and shimmer, are worn for special occasions. In fact, no Odia marriage is complete without a Bomkai. The traditional belief system of the weavers is depicted in the border of the saree. However, the most alluring part of this weave is its threadwork in the designs of border and pallu displaying plants, birds, elephants, temples, flowers, figures and geometric patterns. Tribal simplicity in its purest form – Bomkai weaves were originally produced with low-count cotton yarn dyed in intense color giving a coarse and heavy look to the finished product.
