The Bomkai Saree, an ethnic combination of ikat style and supplementary thread work, showcases the unique excellence of tribal art. Bomkai a tribal village in Orissa, is famed for its ethnic handloom cotton sarees woven on pit looms, combining ikat and supplementary thread work.

The exclusive Bomkai cotton Saris employ the ikat style of tie-dye, where the threads are dyed with contrasting colours before they are woven with a special ‘extra weft’ technique. This traditional art uses vegetable dyes to a large extent, with a leaning toward artificial colours in present day creations.

The weaving of the Bomkai Saree, involves the usual thread movement of the warp (lengthwise lay of the threads) and the weft (breadth wise feed of thread), finely controlled through an arrangement mechanism on the loom. The resulting pattern of interstices provides strength to the fabric. The special mechanism on the loom allows for special designs to be woven on the main weave to seamlessly merge with the saree as a homogeneous pattern.

Black, yellow, orange, maroon, are the preferred hues. Bright coloured panels with extra motifs on a highly contrasting background make this tribal art fabric uniquely stand out. Motifs commonly adorning the fabric are bitter gourd, the atasi flower, the kanti-phul or small flower, peacocks and birds, elephants, Konark temple, conches.The initial or large motif known as Buttah, such a bird sitting on a tree, is woven on the body. 

This accentuates the fabric look. The smaller motifs decorate the borders and pallu, and have pomegranate seeds, Saara seeds and temple spires as popular subjects. Inspiring awesome A special method of cutting warp ends of a colour and re-tying them to different coloured warp ends, known as ‘muha-johra’ is used to create a dense layer of colours at the end piece (pallu) of the Saree. Bomkai cotton Sarees are embroidered with temple spire patterns on the border. Some of these sarees have contrast pallu and extra motifs such as animal prints, geometric designs, birds, elephant and flowers adorning it.

The Bomkai Silk saree resembles the ikkat designed Sambalpuri sari. This design in the four colours of red, green, white and blue can be identified by the patterns of flora, fauna, nature and the Konark temple inscriptions.Bomkai Handloom Cotton Sarees with striking colours, contrast pallu and extra motifs on the background are attractive, finding good use as daily casual, college, corporate and office wear.
