It is said that the art of Sambalpuri ikat 🎨🧵 migrated to Western Odisha with the Bhulia community, who fled Northern India after the fall of the Chouhan Empire at the hands of the Mughals in 1192 AD. Since then, this exquisite artistry has flourished in Western Odisha, bearing limited designs and primarily worn by the womenfolk of Odisha. These sarees were known as 'Bhulia-Kapta'. However, it wasn't until the 1980s, when the legendary Mrs. Indira Gandhi donned Sambalpuri sarees, that their popularity soared nationwide. 👘🌟
