Textile heritage of Orissa reflects the true artistic capabilities and superior craftsmanship of Orissa. Drawing heavily from the motifs
replete in tribal culture and its association with nature and Orissa's famous temple architectural style, the textiles and
handlooms of Orissa have entered the living rooms of people from as far as US and Poland.

Handlooms of Orissa are mainly available in cotton and silk though the colors, patterns and methods of weaving differ
for the two textured materials. The cotton fabrics with heavy drapes are woven of fine cotton threads tightly held
together. The fabric is flannel like to touch for its soft wooly weaving, unlike the luster of precious stones and metals of
the silk fabrics.
