Reinterpretation of the traditional Dongria tribe from Orissa, It is finely handwoven by highly skilled weavers of Eastern belt of Orissa.

It’s fascinating to understand the cultural & ethnic value of the indigenous textiles produced by the womenfolk of the Dongria tribe. Dongria believe that red, green & yellow are the most auspicious colours and these are the colours used in the Kapadagonda as well. Red signifies blood, sacrifices & revenge while green symbolises their fertile mountain ecology. Yellow symbolises the origin of the Kondh. It also represents prosperity & profuse turmeric cultivation.
