Ramraj Cotton launched Panchaa on August 7, a handloom dhoti inspired by the traditional Santhali weave of Odisha's Mayurbhanj district. The initiative aims to revive fading tribal weaving traditions, provide livelihoods for women artisans, and present the craft in a contemporary form. Each piece is 100% cotton, off-white, with azo-free dyes, combining a plain weave with an extra-weft technique. Panchaa is available at select Ramraj Cotton Exclusive Stores and online. The Santhali weave was traditionally used for sarees but has declined due to changing lifestyles and limited market opportunities.
