Bomkai has originated from a small village called Bomkai in Ganjam district, South Odisha (woven mainly on coarse cotton).
Original Ganjam Bomkai as opposed to the forms of Bomkai developed later in Western Odisha with motifs like doll, birds, fish etc.
Currently such Bomkai sarees with buti and temple borders are well-known but the true original Ganjam Bomkai has a charm of its own.
