Handicrafts of Orissa
Textile heritage of Orissa is best seen in its saris ( traditional Indian dress that is wrap around the waist and worn with matching short blouse) These fabrics can be easily adapted to make suits, carry bags, cushion covers etc. Imagination is the only limiting factor when it comes to shopping for Orissa textiles and handlooms. Orissa silk handlooms and textiles are handspun fabrics with a metallic luster that is alluring for even a discerning shopper. Heavy embroidery on borders and elaborate designed drapes available with Ikat's geometric patterns and Bomkai's subtle colors are charms that are hard to resist while shopping on your tour to Orissa
