Jet Black Dongria Silk Saree
The Jet Black Dongria Silk Saree draws inspiration from the traditional Dongria shawls crafted by the Dongria Kondh tribe of Odisha.

The triangles on the saree reflect the hills, showcasing rich cultural heritage. This elegant saree in silk blends traditional artistry with modern wearability, making it an exquisite choice for special occasions.

This ancient craft, passed down through generations, is now skillfully incorporated into full-length sarees by weavers in Nuapatna and Sambalpur, preserving the cultural significance of this tribal art.

Dry in a shaded area; avoid direct sunlight.
Use low to medium heat when ironing, preferably on the reverse side.
Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a cotton or muslin bag.
Air out the saree occasionally to maintain freshness.
