Krishna R The sambalpuri sari is extra-ordinarily woven in the end piece (pallu) with several contrasting colours and designs. The appearance of the sari is related to simplicity and has a tribal tinge in it. The sari is normally dyed to attain the red, black and white background colours. However, today one can find the sari in several designs and multiple colours while retaining their originality. The warps are suitably woven to produce multi coloured end piece. Several patterns are found in the sari which has different names like pestle (rukha), hour-glass shaped drum (dambaroo), small flowers (kanthi phoola), bitter gourd (karela), peacock (mayur/mayuri) and fish.
