Pipili, in the Puri district of Odisha, India, is well known for its Chandua, or applique art. In the art of applique, the coloured cloth is cut into the shapes of animals, birds, flowers, leaves, gods, goddesses, and other decorative motifs before being stitched onto a piece of fabric.
On the one hand, hamlet demonstrates the men's and women's active participation in applique manufacturing. The majority of the residents of this town take great pride in their handiwork because it is the purest form of preserving their artistic history.
Pipli applique handicraft has ties to Puri's well-known Jaganatha Yathra. According to history, this vibrant applique work was created to adorn Jagannatha Ratha and the temple during rites.
Due to the lack of royal support, this applique craft began to decline after independence. But now that artists are using Pipli art to create several domestic and ornamental products like bedsheets, purses, wall hangings, pillow covers, lampshades, and tablecloths, it is again in demand. The sale of this state's handicrafts is its principal source of revenue.
The traditional applique pieces are primarily employed while the gods are carried in procession during different religious outings. During the processions, it's common to see items like umbrellas, Tarrasas (a wooden heart supported by a tall wooden pole decorated in applique fabric), and Chanduas (an umbrella-shaped canopy).
The motifs employed in contemporary Pipli applique work include stylised depictions of nature and wildlife and a few mythical beings. Elephants, parrots, peacocks, ducks, creepers, trees, lotus and jasmine flowers, half-moons, the sun, and Rahu (a mythical demon who devours the sun) are some of the more popular motifs among these.
Orissa is quite famous for handicrafts such as paper mache, shola pith work, lacquer work, zari work, glass beads, cloth garlands, camphor garlands, jute carpets, rush mate, and sea shell works. The Pipli work emerged as the most popular handicraft due to its heritage, cultural values, and uniqueness.
