• A. Ikkat sarees
• B. Banarasi sarees
• C. Sambalpuri sarees
• D. Bomkai sarees

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ikkat sarees

Ikkat sarees,

Ikat is an elaborate dying process done with silk or cotton fabrics. The end result is a piece of cloth bathed and glittered in colorful patterns. More often than not, Orissa Ikat is associated with sarees. Ikat patterns are dyed and binded into the threads before cloth is weaved. This differentiates it from the Tie and Dye process where the fabric is woven in the first place.
