GiTAGGED® Orissa Ikat Salwar Suit Set (3pcs)

Orissa Ikat or resist-dyeing, involves the sequence of tying (or wrapping) and dyeing sections of bundled yarn to a predetermined color scheme prior to weaving. Thus the dye penetrates into the exposed section, while the section remains un-dyed. The patterns formed by this process on the yarn are then woven into the fabric.

Origin of Orissa Ikat traces back to 12th Century AD and it is closely associated with Lord Jagannath Temple rituals at Puri, Orissa.

Uniqueness

• Ikat patterns are dyed and binded into the threads before cloth is weaved.
