The chess of Odisha, woven in silk.

The Pasapali is no ordinary weave. Inspired by the ancient game of pasa, the precursor to chess ,this iconic Odisha pattern has graced royalty, temples, and celebrations for centuries. Each checkered motif is resist-dyed and woven simultaneously on the loom, a double ikat technique that demands extraordinary skill and patience from the weaver.

This piece arrives in a commanding royal blue, punctuated by bold red and cream Pasapali squares across the body, and finished with a deep crimson border rich with gold zari. The pallu carries the full drama of the weave, layered, luminous, and steeped in tradition.
