Fudakumbha, also spelled Phoda Kumbha, is a highly distinct and celebrated design technique used in traditional Odia handloom sarees, particularly Sambalpuri and Berhampuri pata sarees.
Here is an explanation of what it is:
1. The Visual Motif: "Kumbha"
At its core, the design is a series of temple or spire-like motifs along the saree's border. The word "Kumbha" refers to a pot or the pinnacle of a temple temple (Kalasha). In the context of the saree, it represents these triangular, serrated, or sawtooth-like patterns that jut out from the border into the main body of the saree.
2. The Technique: "Phoda"
The word "Phoda" means to pierce or interlock. This refers to the incredible and laborious weaving technique used to create these temple borders.
- Unlike simple printed or block-printed borders, a Phoda Kumbha border is created using an interlocking weft technique.
- It often requires two or even three weavers working simultaneously on the same loom. They throw shuttles carrying different colored threads from opposite sides to interlock them precisely at the edge of the border, creating the sharp, pointed "temple" peaks.
- This interlocking method makes the design look identical on both the front and back sides of the fabric.
Why it's Special:
- Symbolism: The temple motif is considered auspicious and is deeply linked to the culture of Odisha, often associated with Lord Jagannath.
- Skill & Labor: The Phoda technique is extremely difficult and time-consuming. The sharpness and precision of the temple spires are a direct reflection of the weaver's mastery.
- Aesthetic Appeal: It adds a dramatic, regal, and classic frame to the saree, making the border stand out beautifully against the body.
