The village of Pipili, Puri district, Odisha, India, is well known for its appliqué work, traditionally known as Chandua (Odia: ଚାନ୍ଦୁଆ Cānduā) in India. "Appliqué" comes from the French word appliquer,[1] meaning "to put on". There are two variants to this technique: appliqué, where a fabric shape is sewn over a base layer, and reverse appliqué, wherein two layers of fabric are laid down, and a shape is subsequently cut out from the upper layer, exposing the lower layer, before both are stitched together.[2] It is one of the products which has been granted Geographical Indication (GI) by the government of India (Application No. 86 and 108).
