"Boita Bandhana" - Handpainted in silk

Biota Bandana is also known as Danga Basa. Boita Bandana takes place in the early morning of Kartik Purnima which is the full moon day in the month Kartika in the traditional Odia calendar. Since it falls on the lunar phase of the solar calendar, the exact date of the festival changes every year. In the Gregorian calendar, the festival usually falls in the month of November. The festival is a celebrated to mark the commemoration on the day when  Sadhabas (ancient Odia mariner merchants) would set sail to distant lands of mainland and insular Southeast Asia and Sri Lanka for trade and cultural exchange.

There is something so beautiful about steel blue, one of our favorite shades of blue. We are hoping its yours too. Add to it a gorgeous painting on the pallu and we have a masterpiece.
