Woven not just with threads, but with centuries of tradition, devotion, and artistry — this fabric carries the soul of Odisha’s weavers, their rhythm, and their pride. Every motif tells a story of our land — of rivers, temples, and the hands that continue to create magic on looms, generation after generation. To gift her this heritage felt like offering a piece of India’s heart — timeless, graceful, and deeply human. Because when art travels, culture speaks" He added.
