Parda art has been registered under Geographical Identification (GI) by the government of India.^[1] The artisanship belongs to Dhalapathara Village of Bolagarh, Khurda district. A parda art handicraft, is usually sewn with a hand-made spinning machine using threads in natural colours. It was invented by Ganesha Pujari,^[2] while Udayanath Sahu designed the craft.

Preparation[edit]

According to a graph, pictures are drawn on a screen and colored using natural colorings from the mango tree bark, Jamun. The standardized length of a screen is approximately 6'×4'. Therefore, it can take more than one month to make a single screen.

Business[edit]

The trade of the Parda fabric was at its peak in the year 1930. At that time, the selling price per piece was 150 to 250 INR. During various festivals and ceremonies, this was the preferred choice in fashion. The business spread across many parts of India, at this time, including Delhi.
