There are stories in Odisha that are not written — they are woven. One such story is that of Mahula Batta (ମହୁଲ ବଟା) — an age-old tradition that celebrates the harmony between nature, women, and craftsmanship.
In the heart of rural Odisha, when the Mahul trees burst into their fiery orange blossoms, it marks the beginning of a ritual as old as time. Women from the villages set out in the gentle morning light, collecting Mahul flowers to prepare sweets, drinks, and medicinal blends — a process fondly called Mahula Batta.
Threads that Tell Tales

In the world of handlooms, this humble act finds its place not just in stories, but in weaves.
Our Light Green Sambalpuri Patta Silk Saree, inspired by Mahula Batta, is a tribute to these women and their connection with the land.
Every motif — the Mahul tree, the blooming flower, the women collecting blossoms — is delicately handwoven in silk, turning each thread into poetry.
This saree isn’t just fabric; it’s a living canvas of tradition, resilience, and grace.
A Heritage Woven by Hand
Each Mahula Batta saree is handwoven using the traditional Sambalpuri Patta technique, where natural silks and vibrant dyes come together in perfect rhythm.
It takes days — sometimes weeks — for artisans to craft one piece.
And in that time, they don’t just weave threads, they weave emotion, memory, and identity.
These motifs of the Mahul flower are more than designs — they are symbols of abundance, a celebration of the bond between nature and womanhood.
Why Mahula Batta Matters
In an age where machines can replicate patterns in seconds, the Mahula Batta saree stands as a reminder of patience and purpose.
Every irregularity, every shade that changes with light, every subtle imperfection — tells you this is handmade, human, and honest.
It is art — not just worn, but lived.

Final Thread

When you wear it, you don’t just wear silk — you wear a story that still breathes in the villages of Odisha.
