Description
Bomkai silk is a type of silk fabric that is traditionally handwoven in the Bomkai village of Odisha, India. It is also known as Sonepuri silk, as it originated from the Sonepur district of Odisha. The fabric is characterized by intricate thread work and designs, often featuring motifs inspired by nature, mythological figures, and traditional Indian art.
Bomkai silk is made from high-quality silk yarn that is sourced from different parts of India. The yarn is then hand-dyed in vibrant colors using natural dyes made from plants and herbs. The fabric is handwoven using a traditional pit loom, where the weaver sits below the loom and pulls the threads to create the intricate designs.
The weaving process of Bomkai silk is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with each piece taking several days to complete. The result is a luxurious, high-quality fabric that is prized for its softness, durability, and intricate designs. Bomkai silk is commonly used for traditional Indian clothing, such as sarees and salwar kameez, as well as for home decor items like curtains and tablecloths.
