Bibhuthi Moharana is a 30-year-old appliqué artisan based in Bhakarsahi, Banamalipur, Khordha district, Odisha. He began learning the craft at the age of 18 through generational transmission, acquiring skills through observation, repetition, and sustained engagement with materials within the household environment. His practice is rooted in inherited knowledge systems while also reflecting gradual adaptations shaped by changing market demands and contemporary production conditions. Working primarily with textiles, thread, and hand tools such as needles and scissors, his appliqué practice extends beyond ritual contexts into everyday domestic use. Objects produced within the community include home décor elements, screen doors, bed mattresses, and other functional textile forms that remain embedded within local patterns of living. The craft in Bhakarsahi and Banamalipur differs from the highly ritual-oriented production associated with Pipili, functioning instead through a closer relationship with household utility and regional markets. Economically, his work circulates through local markets, Utkalika, exhibitions, and craft festivals. Like many younger artisans, he negotiates challenges related to raw material availability, competitive pricing, and shifting generational interest in continuing the practice. His work reflects an ongoing effort to sustain inherited craft knowledge while adapting to contemporary economic realities.
