Goa’s renowned Kunbi sari, named after the indigenous Kunbi tribe, is a symbol of the state’s cultural heritage. With a plain body and vibrant, handwoven border and pallu, the sari reflects the Kunbi community’s expertise in traditional weaving techniques. Crafted using locally sourced cotton and silk threads, the labor-intensive process includes a tie-dye technique called ‘bandhni.’ The sari holds great cultural significance and is experiencing a contemporary revival, celebrating Goa’s diversity and preserving the Kunbi community’s traditions and artistry.
