Khandua Silk weaving is a centuries-old craft, deeply tied to Odisha's temple culture. My ancestors wove dhotis for Lord Jagannath using vibrant tie-and-dye techniques. Since joining Atulya Karigari in 2019, I have created unique designs, preserving this sacred art while giving it fresh life for modern admirers.
