@Serols: Hello, this page is about saris woven in bandha (ikat technique) from Odisha. There are several kinds of bandha woven in Odisha, these include Khandua sari, Sambalpuri sari of Odisha etc. Please see sources in those pages well, this is common knowledge.
Why is this being reverted? I was trying link those pages here because this page addresses bandha weaving technique in Odisha, while Khandua/Sambalpuri/Katki are different kinds of saris produced in Odisha using this technique. 117.198.118.236 (talk) 12:11, 20 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Serols: Also, the info box title says "Sambalpuri ikat" but this is one specific kind of Sambalpuri ikat made in Odisha. There are several kinds in Odisha as mentioned above - see Khandua ikat, so title should be Bandha of Odisha. This page only addresses technique but not different types produced from this technique. 117.198.118.236 (talk) 12:16, 20 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
