Often people have heard about 'Pochampalli' of Andhra Pradesh OR 'Patola' of Gujarat, while Sambalpur, Bargarh and many villages in Odisha do one of the finest Ikat Textiles in the world.

“Bandha: Heritage Textile of Bargarh” is a powerful visual tribute to the enduring legacy of Bargarh Ikat, renowned for its intricate ‘Bandha’ or tie-and-dye technique. More than just a craft, Bandha is a symbol of the deep-rooted bond between the women weavers and their cultural traditions—a connection passed down through generations.

This film captures that essence, where each motif, each tied thread, and each vibrant color narrates a story of heritage, resilience, and identity, with the impact SIBI interventions have made to the cluster.

Commissioned by SIDBI and developed by KPMG India with our National Entity Craft Village, the documentary unfolds a rich visual journey:
🔸 The evolution of Bandha weaving as an art form
🔸 The precision and dedication behind its creation
🔸 The shared community celebrations and spiritual ethos of the weavers

From the first tie of the thread to the joy of a finished fabric, this film reflects the soul of Bargarh’s women artisan communities—their unwavering commitment to their craft, culture, and collective spirit.

Watch now to experience the magic of Bandha, where tradition and artistry are forever intertwined.
