Sambalpur is a place of tradition and values in western orissa
Odisha state consists of different traditions and people. All our districts have some uniqueness and languages.
Sambalpur is one of the district where people love each other and love to spend time with loved ones during all festivals.
We have visited One of the famous maa temple samaleswari on the back of river mahanadi. People of western odisha make groups during nuakhai which is the biggest festival in this region.
We got surprised to see still most of the women wear sarees to visit temples and festivals. These people love to speak their language where ever they go and want sambalpuri clothes in any of their fairs wherever they may be in this world.

How to Choose Your Saree from the Collection of Cheap Indian Sarees
Sarees
are of different types, both in terms of fabric and price range. Before the
option of online shopping, when there were only brick and stone made stores of
sarees, we had a concept that cheap Indian sarees are of inferior quality and
as the price goes high, quality gets better. So, it was difficult to make a
choice when our budget was low because it meant a huge compromise on quality of
the product. And once or twice in a year, there were sale and discounts, which
were introduced only after retail chains came into being. It gave us a little
chance to buy sarees for comparatively low price. But things changed
dramatically over the past decade when online shopping took the centre stage.
Today,
there are hundreds and thousands of online stores that sell clothes- both
Indian and western. This gave us a golden opportunity to buy quality sarees for
quite a reasonable price. And the meaning of buying cheap Indian sarees
suddenly changed. Where it previously meant buying low quality sarees, now it
means striking a good deal or some website is offering really good deals. While
choosing your saree from the collection of cheap Indian sarees in your nearby
store can really be a daunting task because only preference you can give is its
appearance, making the same choice in an online store is relatively easier. You
have more options and none of them would be your compromise in terms of
quality.
Indian Sarees available with cheap price |
Sarees
and other dresses bought from online stores are easy on pocket because cost
incurred to the company is much lower. First of all, there is no establishment
charge as the whole set up is virtual in most of the cases. Secondly, there is
no inventory, so there are no maintenance either. Even the employee cost is
almost half. This gives them ample room to lower down the cost of sarees even
after maintaining the same profit margin. Thus, when you buy cheap Indian sarees, you get a high quality product at the same time.
However,
you need to pay attention in certain matters. For example, silk is one fabric
where you can easily get duped. Don't get fooled if you are offered a silk
saree for a throw away price. Often these are faux or artificial silk which
have synthetic thread woven along with very few original silk threads. These
are real cheap Indian sarees. So, when buying silk sarees, do not let the price
flatter you. Safe bait is to buy from co operatives or other government owned
organizations where you might not get any discount but you can be sure of the
quality.
Cheap cotton sarees are very comfortable though they tend to get soft after
consecutive washes. But if you really have to buy cheap Indian sarees, go for
pure cotton or synthetic. Refrain from the ones that claim to offer georgette,
chiffon or crepe for dirt cheap price. But you can always get faux georgette or
simply synthetic sarees with a real cheap price tag.
To
strike best deals, watch out for the discounts offered in various festive
seasons. There are coupon codes applicable for buying stuffs over a particular
base price. Once you cross the mark, your amount gets additional discount as
high as 50%. In order to maximize the business, all the competitors offer such
deals. So keep close watch on these offers. Such deals are offered every two to
three months, especially before Durga Puja, Diwali, Christmas, and Holi. During
this time of the year, you pay price of cheap Indian sarees while you actually
buy good, elegant looking high quality sarees.

How to Find Which Sarees are Skin Friendly- Bollywood Designer Sarees or Handloom Sarees
In general, when synthetic materials
brush against sensitive skin, they cause rashes and irritation. So, if we look
at that way Bollywood sarees that are mostly found in fabrics like georgette or
other synthetic materials, can be said to be the one that are least skin
friendly while sarees made of natural fibres like silk and cotton are friendly
on skin, thus handloom sarees can be said to be skin friendly. But does that mean
if you have sensitive skin, you cannot wear Bollywood designer sarees? Now,
that would be unfair. So, what is the solution? In fashion industry there is
always a way out for those who want to be in style.
There are organizations that manufacture
fabrics that are not sensitive to the skin. They use fabrics like chiffon and
silk that are soft on skin. Use of kundan, zari work, pearl and other semi
precious stones make the sarees alluring to everyone. Bollywood designer sarees
that you often notice your favourite stars sporting can be bought from various
sites at quite an affordable price. Manufacturers use the same designs and
patterns on the fabrics that are friendly on skin. There are specialized artisans
and weavers working under strict supervision so that utmost care is taken in order
to ensure that the saree you wear is comfortable to your skin. Furthermore these
fabrics as well as finished products go through various phases of quality tests
so that they qualify on all the parameters and only after achieving the desired
results, they hit the shelves, aisles and galleries of stores and online
shops. Other qualities of these sarees
are that they are anti-wrinkle and do not bleed colours- two qualities that we
always look forward to in any clothing.

There is no reason to think that
since the fabric is different, the Bollywood designer sarees in them would be a
compromise on any part. These sarees are as beautiful, gorgeous and stylish as
the original one. Rather, some of these sarees can be in rough fabrics which
are not gentle even to the skin of women who do not necessarily have sensitive
skin. That is way, skin friendly sarees are improvised versions where you not
only get the style but comfort as well. And when you drape these sarees with
designer blouse and matching accessories, you will undoubtedly be the head
turner in every party and get together.
Now that you know it is quite
possible, rather easily possible, to get skin friendly Bollywood designer
sarees, you need to know how to find them. You can ask your regular apparel
store for these fabrics. If you are lucky, you can find them in your locality.
If not, then you can enquire leading saree shops with enormous stock. If not,
look for them online. You will definitely get Bollywood designer sarees that
won't be harsh against your skin. This means no longer restricting yourself to
handloom silk and cotton sarees only because you have sensitive skin. It is
quite unfortunate, that manufacturers ignore this basic fact that a particular
skin type can keep a customer base away from their products. However,
intelligent ones have found out the niche and doing their part to stay long and
strong in the industry and skin friendly Bollywood designer sarees are just an
example. So, if you were identified with handloom sarees, it is time you break
away from that stereotype. You will love every bit of yourself and enjoy all
the attention. Be a fashionista this season with these skin friendly sarees.
Get your wardrobe a mega make over with these designer sarees.

How to keep fashionable and trendy sari for your daughter for years?
For any Indian woman, there is
nothing like a beautiful saree that she had worn in various special occasions
in her life. A saree can conjure up a lot of nice memories; they can also give
rise to many more new ones. Hence it is no wonder that many women want to pass
on their best sarees to their daughters. However, to do so, it is of absolute
importance to maintain sarees in the right manner so that their glamour remains
intact even after many years. Maintaining sarees for a long time can be a
tricky thing, particularly for those who are not well aware of how to do so and
tend to keep a saree in the wardrobe in the same way that they would do with
any other piece of clothing.
There have been many times when
women have experienced the surprise of seeing a saree ruined due to lack of
maintenance. It is not just sufficient to keep a saree in a trunk on the back
of a room after wearing it a few times; every type of saree comes with its very
own maintenance and preservation techniques. This article will tell you how to
maintain a fashionable and trendy sari so that it is in the best condition even
after several years.
Preserving cotton sarees
Cotton sarees are some of the
most widely worn garments in India, due to the fact that they are extremely
comfortable and versatile. Read on to know about how to preserve them for long
durations of time.
- Dark shaded cotton sarees tend to lose color when they are washed. Hence make sure that you do not wash two different sarees together. The cotton sarees should always be washed separately on cold water.
- Avoid soaking your favorite cotton saree in the water for long periods as this will ruin it permanently.
- Dry your cotton sarees in shade and avoid the sun altogether.
- Use starch to retain the look and feel of your cotton sarees. This would help in maintaining their shine as if they are brand new.

Preserving silk sarees
Silk sarees are often a matter of
pride for a woman. Hence it is very important to preserve their looks for many
years to come. Have a look at the different ways in which you can keep the look
of a silk saree intact.
- Avoid using soap while cleaning a silk saree at the very beginning. Instead, soak the saree in salt water of medium temperature for about 20 to 30 minutes; then rinse the saree with cold water. Use plain water to wash it a few times and then clean it by using mild detergent quickly. Start with the pallu and then the border; then gradually move onto the main body. Do not scrub with a brush or bundle it. Once washed, dry the saree by hanging it.
- If you have got stains in your silk saree, then make use of lime juice to remove them. Simply add some lime juice to water and then use it to remove the stains from the silk sarees. Make sure that you remove the lime water completely just after you are done as it tends to fade the coloring of the saree. In case you are dealing with a stubborn stain, then you can soak that particular spot with petrol and gently scrub it with a soft cloth or a brush.
- When it comes to ironing your silk saree, the best time to do so is when the saree is still somewhat damp.
- Store a silk saree in a box or closet away from light and dust. However, do not use a plastic pouch for storing it as it needs breathing space.

Women in Saree- Perfect Representation of Indian Beauty
This is
an age old debate- whether it can be said that Indian women look best in saree
or should we leave it on individual perspectives. Saree is our national attire
and it is long forgotten story where it denoted Indian tradition. With
introduction of so many wow factors in this nine yard long clothing, entire
community of Indian beauty admits hands down that you can look gorgeous,
ethereal, elegant and hot in saree, all depending on the fact that how you wear
and carry it. Though there are no hard and fast rules to complete your look but
to think of saree as a complete package can be a mistake. Read on to know how
and why saree represents the Indian beauty perfectly.
First of
all, saree has always been a magic clothing for the western beauties. The
legendary Elizabeth Taylor was asked what wonders you, to which she had replied
“Indian women. A woman of barely 1.6 meters drapes a cloth piece of 5.5 meters
and yet to all their chores without any fuss”. But this is an old story. The
latest version is that from Michelle Obama to Julia Roberts and Anna Kournikova
to Elizabeth Hurley, every body is seen sporting a saree in some or the other
photographs. Saree is popular now. India is a hot topic and everything related
to India is hot. So, when Indian beauty is thought of, a picture of saree clad
woman comes before their eyes.
Indian
designers have gone global. Indian stars are invited in different international
film festivals and red carpet occasions world wide. In these circumstances,
questions come up whether to appreciate gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in a
pretty gown or Deepika Padukone who looked stunning in an elegant saree stood
out in the crowd of gown clad women in Cannes. Both are surely best possible
examples of Indian beauty. But experts say when you attend an event in a place
like Cannes, it is better to showcase the best of India. Thus, a stylishly
draped elegant saree with a designer blouse is the hit look.
Indian Beauty in Saree |
Also, Indian
women have, genetically, curvaceous body in general. And saree is that outfit
which can highlight your best features while hiding the hideous ones. If you
are skinny, with the choice of fabric you can have a fuller body. If you are
plump, you look slim in georgette or chiffon sarees. Unlike any other dress style, saree has a
plethora of options in terms of designs, fabric, motifs and what not. Blouses
bring more dramatic effect to the look of an Indian beauty in a saree. A simple
georgette saree with printed three quarter sleeved blouse is a household look
while a gorgeous sequinned saree in net with a sleeveless blouse is perfect for
a party. Spaghetti strapped, halter neck, turtle neck or backless blouses add
another dimension to your look. Blouse is one accessory which can give a new
look to your saree. Often the same blouse is used for a number of sarees but
when you have exclusive designer blouses, even if you you can use them with the
saree, it will give a new look. It is this versatility of sarees as a package
which is so appreciated by Indian beauty and saree never loses its sheen.
Saree is
something that a woman receives from mother, grandmother, great grandmother, or
in-laws as a legacy. Sarees as well as the draping style is an integral part of
a girl's upbringing to adulthood. Due to lack of practice there can be certain
discomfort at the initial level but in no time she learns it. After we have
seen our epitome of Indian beauty- the women at home, in this nine yard long
piece of clothing draped around their slender bodies and toiling hard all day.
